Again!: Bobrisky To Faces Money Laundering Charges This Friday
In a dramatic turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has leveled a six-count charge against the flamboyant social media personality, Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky. The charges, which include abuse of the Nigerian currency and allegations of money laundering, are set to be addressed in court this Friday.
Bobrisky is scheduled to appear before Justice Abimbola Awogboro at the Federal High Court in Lagos, where the EFCC will present its case. The first four counts accuse Bobrisky of disrespecting the Naira through his actions at various social events, where he allegedly sprayed sums totaling N490,000 while dancing—an act contrary to the Central Bank Act 2007.
The remaining two counts delve deeper, alleging that Bobrisky, under the guise of his company Bob Express, failed to declare its activities to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering. During the period in question, substantial amounts totaling N180.7 million were deposited into the company’s account, raising suspicions and leading to the current charges under the Money Laundering (Prevention And Prohibition) Act.
As the case unfolds, the spotlight turns to the courtroom where the outcome of these serious allegations will be decided.
