The controversial crossdresser, Idris Olarewaju Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months imprisonment without the option of a fine for abusing the naira.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos on Friday while sentencing the convict, said the judgment would be a deterrent to others who are found abusing and mutilating the naira.
Before the sentence, the judge asked about his sex, and he quickly replied that he was a man.
The judge ruled that the jail term commenced on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.
Bobrisky had last Friday, after his conviction, pleaded with the court to give him a lesser punishment as he was not aware of the law of abusing the naira.
