Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, is scheduled to be released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on August 5, 2024, after several months of incarceration for abusing the Naira notes.
A reliable source within the prison system confirmed this development.
“Bobrisky will be released on Monday, August 5,” the prison source revealed, preferring to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to speak officially.
Bobrisky’s lawyer, Ayo Olumofin, also confirmed the news.
“Yes, it’s about that time for him to be released. There is nothing specific that would be done during his release. I might not go. I’m engaged outside Lagos. Maybe other lawyers will go. As I told you, I am not his original lawyer. I just did allocution for him,” he explained.
Bobrisky was arraigned on April 5, 2024, on four counts of Naira abuse brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He was sentenced to six months in prison on April 12, 2024, by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, with no option for a fine.
