Bobrisky Released From Prison After Six-Month Sentence
Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, a social media celebrity and cross-dresser, has been released from prison on Monday morning after serving a six-month sentence.
A video shared on X showed Bobrisky greeting fans who gathered to welcome him back. Speaking to journalists shortly after his release, Bobrisky advised Nigerians to obey the country’s laws and respect the national currency, the Naira.
He warned against abusing the Naira, noting that disrespecting the currency could lead to imprisonment. Bobrisky stated, “You have to follow the rules and abide by the laws. Don’t spray money, or you will become a landlord in Kirikiri. It is not just about killing or any criminal activity that can bring you to prison. Something as minor as spraying the Naira can take you there.”
Bobrisky emphasized that he would now focus on positive energy and appreciate those who supported him during his incarceration. “I’m only focusing on my good energy right now on people who were there for me, like my friends. You see, any other person, I’m not interested. So, I don’t want to talk about them. I’m really grateful to my friends and loved ones,” he added.
In April, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos sentenced Bobrisky to prison for Naira abuse. The judge noted that the sentence should serve as a lesson for others who might consider disrespecting the country’s currency.
