Nigerian cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has been sentenced to six months in jail with no option of a fine.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos
gave the judgement on Friday morning.
The judge brought down the hammer after Bobrisky had pleaded
guilty to a four-count charge of Naira abuse brought against him by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Trouble started for Bobrisky after he sprayed money at the
premiere of Ajakaju, a keenly awaited film by actress and producer Eniola Ajao,
at Film One Circle Mall, in the upmarket Lagos district of Lekki last month.
Videos of the event were widely shared on social media and
this may have put pressure on the authorities to take action.
However, this is not the first time a Nigerian celebrity
will be jailed for Naira abuse.
In February, actress Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin was also
sentenced to six months in prison for spraying and stepping on new naira notes.
