In a dramatic turn of events, popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, has pleaded guilty to a series of charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a Lagos court.
VerseNews reports that the charges primarily revolve around the abuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira, and allegations of money laundering.

Arraignment and Charges
Upon his arrest, Bobrisky was arraigned before the Lagos court on a total of six counts, encompassing charges related to abuse of the naira and money laundering.
