Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky would be arraigned before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos for alleged offences of laundering a sum of N180.7million as well as spraying about N400, 000 in social gathering in Lagos contrary to money laundering Act.
Already, Bobrisky was invited and detained for questioning by the anti graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, following which the agency proffered a six count charge against him, for which he would be charged tomorrow Friday.
The commission alleged that the famous cross dresser engaged in abuse of Nigeria naira and failure to declare his firm’s activities involving the sum of N180.7million.
Already the six count charge filed by the agency’s lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, against the social media influencer was designated with suit number,  FHC/L/244c/2024.
The planned arraignment followed a statement on Thursday by the commission announcing Bobrisky’s arrest a day earlier for alleged Naira abuse.
In the first four counts in the charge sheet, the social media influencer was accused of naira abuse, while the 5th and 6th counts accused him of offences connected with money laundering involving his company, Bob Express.
The six counts read in part: “That you, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, on the 24th day of March, 2024, at Imax Circle Mall, Jakande, Lekki, whilst dancing during a social event tampered with the total sum of N400,000 notes by spraying same.
“That you, Okuneye Idris OLANREWAJU, between July and August, 2023 at Aja Junction, Ikorodu, whilst dancing during a social event tampered with the sum N50,000, by spraying same.
“That you, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, sometimes in December, 2023 at White Steve Event Hall, Ikeja, during a social event tampered with the sum N20,000 by spraying same.
“That you, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju, sometimes in 2022 at Event Hall, Oniru, Victory Island, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court whilst dancing during a social event tampered with the sum N20,000 by spraying same…”
The four counts were said to have contravened Section 21(1) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, 2007.
Counts 5 and 6 read: “That you Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju,  trading under the name and style of BOB EXPRESS, between 1st September, 2021 to 4th April, 2024 in Lagos, failed to submit to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering a declaration of your activities of the said company within which period the total sum of N127,780,877.98  was paid into the company’s account number 2830002929, domiciled in Eco Bank Plc.
“That you, Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju,  trading under the name and style of BOB EXPRESS between 1st September, 2021 to 4th April, 2024 in Lagos, failed to submit to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering a declaration of your activities of the said company within which period the total sum of N53,000,000 was paid into the company’s account number 2830016041, domiciled in Eco Bank Plc…”
Both alleged offences contravened sections 6(1)(a), 19(1)(f) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 and section 19 (2)(b) of the same Act.
The EFCC arrested and detained the controversial cross-dresser, in Lagos on Wednesday night.
In a statement titled “EFCC Grills Bobrisky for Naira Abuse” posted on its social media handle later, the EFCC wrote, “Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have commenced investigation of Idris Okuneye, a.k.a Bobrisky, for allegedly spraying Naira notes.
The EFCC had invited the 31-year old following a video report of spraying and flaunting wads of new Naira notes at the premiere of a movie, Ajakaju, produced by Eniola Ajao, a Nollywood actress and producer, at Film One Circle Mall, Lekki, Lagos on March 24, 2024.
