Bobrisky to spend Eid-El-Fitri holidays in EFCC custody as sentencing stalled

Bobrisky in EFCC custody

The Eid-El-Fitri holiday on Tuesday stalled judgment by a Federal High Court Lagos against convicted crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, over naira abuse.

Bobrisky was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for naira abuse.

The court had convicted him on April 5, following his guilty plea to a criminal charge brought against him by the commission.

The court, however, reserved sentence until April 9 (today) but ordered that Bobrisky be remanded in the custody of the EFCC pending the sentence.

However, the case could no longer proceed following the declaration of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as public holidays by the Federal Government to mark Sallah.

The court will communicate a new date to the parties involved.

The EFCC had on April 4, filed six counts against the cross-dresser bordering on naira mutilation and money laundering.
