Bobrisky’s real offence may not be Naira mutilation – Sowore knocks EFCC
Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2019 and 2023 general elections, has criticized the six-month jail sentence given to controversial transgender figure Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, by a Federal High Court in Lagos.
Sowore argued that while individuals like Bobrisky face consequences, the true culprits behind the nation’s economic and currency woes remain unpunished. He raised doubts about the effectiveness of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in prosecuting cases involving “real financial criminals” dating back to 2007.
Sowore pointed out that the energy exerted into the prosecution and jailing of Bobrisky by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, showed that his real offence could not have been spraying Naira at a party.

He wrote: “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is gleefully announcing that Bobrisky has been jailed for six months without an option of a fine for “mutilating” the Nigerian currency, the Naira.
“The real people destroying the economy, like former President Muhammadu Buhari, his former Attorney General, Abubakar Malami, SAN, his former personal secretary, Tunde Sabiu, and even the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, @Godwin Emefiele (who was just now granted an N50M bail in Lagos for an offence involving N50 billion), are yet to be jailed for the massive economic damage they did to ruin Nigeria.
“The energy put into prosecuting and jailing a crossdresser, Bobrisky, shows his real offence could not have been spraying Naira at a party.
“Let’s see how the EFCC handles cases involving real financial criminals, a long list being prosecuted since 2007-who destroyed the naira in the near future. #RevolutionNow.”
