Eniola Ajao, a movie producer, has begged the EFCC to free Bobrisky, the infamous crossdresser.
Recall that Bobrisky was detained a few days ago for allegedly mutilating naira notes during Eniola Ajao’s movie launch.
Bobrisky was today found guilty of the offense. Eniola Ajao responded on social media,
She wrote:
“Woke up very sad 😞My thoughts and prayers are with Bobrisky this morning. He has been very supportive. He should not be going through any issue as a result of the movie.Maybe I should not title the sequel of #ajakajuthemovie, @ajakajumovie Ajakaju.The gbas-gbos since the premiere and the cinema runs started are on another level; it is another Nollywood story on its own.I pray Bobrisky (Mummy of Lagos) gets home safely.Please EFCC, help us. We have learned our lessons; we will do better and stop spraying money. We will only do transfers 🙏Please show me love by going to cinemas across Nigeria; #ajakajuthemovie (Beastof Two Worlds) is still showing.”
Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Lagos deferred the sentence of embattled cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, until April 9, 2024.
The judge further ordered that he be returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s custody until the decision.
Bobrisky previously pleaded guilty to the EFCC’s allegation of abusing the naira.
He informed the court that he was unaware of the legislation of naira abuse and asked the Judge to enable him to utilize his platform to educate Nigerians and the public.
However, Justice Awogboro denied his motion, stating that ignorance of the law was no justification.
He was originally charged with six counts, but two of them were withdrawn after a conversation between the parties.
The charges brought against the crossdresser are:
“Tampering with the sum of N400,000 by spraying the same while dancing at a social event at the IMAX Circle Mall, Lekki, Lagos. The offence was committed on 24 March 2024 and is contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act 2007.
