The Nigerian Correctional Services, NCoS, has disclosed that popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, will be kept in the male section of the prison facility throughout his six-month sentence.

On Friday, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court sentenced Bobrisky to six months imprisonment for naira mutilation.

Bobrisky was charged before Justice Awogboro by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

He was sentenced to six months of imprisonment without the option of a fine for naira mutilation.

Before the sentence was pronounced, the judge asked Bobrisky about his sex.

“I am a man,” he quickly replied.

He was then remanded to serve his jail term at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre, with the judge ruling that the sentence would commence on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.
