Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, has been released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos State.
The social media celebrity was freed on Monday morning after serving a six-month jail term.
In a video seen by MUK TV on X (formerly Twitter), Bobrisky was seen exchanging pleasantries with jubilant fans celebrating his release.
Recall that in April, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos had sentenced Bobrisky for Naira abuse.
Justice Awogboro, who handed down the sentence without the option of a fine, stated that it should serve as a lesson to others who abuse the Naira.
Speaking to journalists shortly after his release, Bobrisky advised Nigerians to obey the country’s laws and respect the Naira. The cross-dresser warned against Naira abuse, emphasizing that such actions could lead to imprisonment.
He said, “You have to follow the rules and abide by the laws. Don’t spray money, or you will become a landlord in Kirikiri. It is not just about killing or any criminal activity that can bring you to prison. Something light as spraying of naira can take you there.”
Bobrisky added, “I’m only focusing on my good energy right now on people who were there for me, like my friends. You see, any other person, I’m not interested. So, I don’t want to talk about them. I’m really grateful to my friends and loved ones.”
Reacting to his release, an X user, Motara Lawrence, posting as @_theladymo, wrote, “Bobrisky looks really fresh out of prison, be like say all of us go enter prison o.”
