Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, is set to regain freedom from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on August 5, 2024, after spending months in incarceration for abusing the Naira notes. 

An impeccable prison source confirmed the development to punch on Tuesday.

“Bobrisky will be released on Monday, August 5,” the prison source, who preferred anonymity because he cannot speak officially, told the publication. 

Bobrisky’s lawyer, Ayo Olumofin, who appeared in court for him, also confirmed the development to the publication. 

“Yes, it’s about that time for him to be released. There is nothing specific that would be done during his release. I might not go. I’m engaged outside Lagos. Maybe other lawyers will go. As I told you, I am not his original lawyer. I just did allocution, for him,” he said. 

Bobrisky was arraigned on April 5, 2024, on four counts of naira abuse preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

He was sentenced to six months imprisonment on April 12, 2024, without an option of fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro, a judge in the federal high court.
