Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, is a controversial cross-dresser who entered a guilty plea on Friday to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) accusation that he had abused Naira.
However, the EFCC, through its counsel, Suleiman Suleiman withdrew the two-count charge of laundering N180.7 million through his company, Bob Express earlier filed against him.
Counsel to the anti-graft agency however did not give any reason for the decision.
Following his plea, Justice Awogboro convicted the defendant on four-count charge of tampering with the N490, 000 by spraying.
Bobrisky, who wore a black gown and covered his head with a black veil, was surrounded by 10 armed operatives of the EFCC, who prevented journalists from taking his pictures.
