Bobrisky’s Brush with the Law: What Happens if Guilty of Naira Shenanigans, According to EFCC!
Guess what’s making headlines? The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) just scooped up none other than the famed crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, on Thursday, April 4th! So, what’s the buzz about? Well, it turns out Bobrisky got into hot water for what’s called “naira mutilation” – basically, throwing around cash in public.
The EFCC got wind of Bobrisky’s cash-spraying antics at the premiere of a movie by Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao on March 24, 2024, and they weren’t too thrilled about it. But get this – it seems this isn’t Bobrisky’s first rodeo. Nope, he’s allegedly been making it rain at other events too!
Now, here’s the kicker: Barrister Stanley Alieke, a human rights champ, spilled the beans in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng. He revealed that anyone caught tossing cash like confetti could be looking at a stint in the slammer – yup, six months behind bars!
But hold up, there’s a twist! The police say they can’t just nab Bobrisky and fellow crossdressers left and right. Why? Well, they’re waiting on some solid evidence to back up the claims that they’ve been up to no good. It’s like trying to win a court case without all the right proof – tough luck!
So, there you have it – Bobrisky’s cash-flinging escapades have landed him in some serious trouble, but will he walk the plank or come out shining? Stay tuned for the latest on this glam saga!

OFFICIAL: Victor Osimhen named African Player of the Year
Victor Osimhen has rounded off his incredible 2022/2023 campaign with one of the most prized individual trophies a player can receive. The Nigerian was named African Player of the Year at the CAF Awards 2023 gala in Marrakesh, Morocco.
The former Lille striker edged out Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah and PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi, who were the other two finalists nominated for the award.
The Nigeria international was one of the key players for Luciano Spalletti’s side last season, leading his team to their first Serie A title since the last one they won in 1990, when Diego Maradona was still in the Italian side’s ranks.
Osimhen proved crucial to the Neapolitans, scoring 31 goals in all competitions, 26 of which came in the Italian domestic championship, in which he made 32 official appearances, averaging almost a goal per game.
In addition, the 24-year-old striker was also key in his team’s run to the Champions League quarter-finals, scoring five goals, four of which came in the knockout rounds, three to eliminate Eintracht Frankfurt in the last 16 and another to hold Milan to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
At international level, the Napoli striker was instrumental in securing Nigeria’s qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 as group winners, scoring 10 goals and providing two assists in six qualifying games.
Indeed, Victor Osimhen becomes the first Nigerian to win the CAF’s Player of the Year award since former Arsenal winger Nwankwo Kanu in 1999.
