Controversial transgender figure, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, this Friday morning.
Dockaysworld recalls that Bobrisky, who was apprehended on Wednesday, received an administrative bail from the EFCC on Thursday but was unable to fulfill the bail conditions.
The crossdresser was escorted Friday morning to the Federal High Court premises in Ikoyi, Lagos, at approximately 9 am in a white Hiace Toyota bus, accompanied by armed police escorts and EFCC operatives.
The allegations against Bobrisky by the anti-graft agency include money laundering and misuse of Naira funds.
Bobrisky, known for a viral video where he scattered Naira notes on the ground at a social event while being lauded by a musician, is set to appear before Justice Abimbola Awogboro on a six-count charge.
These charges involve purportedly laundering N180 million through his company, Bob Express, and tampering with N490,000 worth of Naira notes by spreading them.
The charges, outlined by EFCC counsel Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), accuse Bobrisky of mishandling Naira currency in multiple instances at various social events.
The allegations also include failure to submit declarations of activities for Bob Express during periods when significant sums were deposited into the company’s Ecobank account, contravening sections of the Central Bank Act 2007 and the Money Laundering (Prevention And Prohibition) Act.
