The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended and detained the controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, famously known as Bobrisky, for offenses related to the abuse of the Nigerian currency, spraying of naira notes, and currency mutilation.
Bobrisky, amidst a string of controversies in recent weeks, was taken into custody in Lagos on Wednesday night and has remained detained at the EFCC’s Lagos Command facility.
According to the information scooped from the PUNCH Newspapers, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, who confirmed Bobrisky’s arrest and subsequent detention, asserted that he would face legal charges.
Oyewale remarked, “Bobrisky is with us. He was arrested last night in Lagos, and he is at our Lagos command. We arrested him for alleged abuse of naira notes, spraying of naira notes, and currency mutilation, among others.
“We are very serious about restoring the dignity of the naira. Though our investigation is still ongoing, he will be charged to court soon.”
