Barring any last-minute changes, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos today, April 5.
Bobrisky was arrested on Wednesday, April 3, and has since been held in a separate cell. The EFCC filed a charge against him on Thursday, April 4, listing six counts.
The first four counts accuse Bobrisky of naira abuse, alleging that he tampered with various sums of money during social events. Counts 5 and 6 relate to his company, Bob Express, accusing him of failure to declare company activities involving significant amounts.
The charges state that Bobrisky, trading under the name Bob Express, failed to submit declarations of company activities, where substantial sums were paid into the company's accounts between September 1, 2021, and April 4, 2024.
These alleged offences contravene sections of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, and the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
Bobrisky's arraignment marks another high-profile case for the EFCC and has drawn significant attention from the public.
