Nigerian crossdresser and social media influencer, Bobrisky, has filed an appeal against the sentence handed down to him for abusing the Naira. The popular influencer was recently found guilty of mishandling the Nigerian currency in a viral video, which led to a sentence of community service and a fine.
However, Bobrisky’s legal team has challenged the ruling, arguing that the sentence was excessive and unconstitutional. The appeal seeks to overturn the conviction and sentence, citing alleged irregularities in the trial process.
The case has sparked a wider debate about the use and abuse of the Naira, with some calling for greater respect for the national currency and others arguing for more lenient penalties for first-time offenders.
The appeal is currently pending in court, and a new ruling is expected in the coming weeks.
