I’m Not Ex-Convict, I Will Still Spray Money – Says Bobrisky

Published

on

Controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has opened up on his experience at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.

The 33-year-old Instagram celebrity was sentenced to six months in prison on Friday, April 12, 2024, without the option of a fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, for abusing the naira and was released on Monday, August 5.

In an interview on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast aired on Saturday, Bobrisky said his experience in prison was like a vacation because he needed the time to rest.

He said, “Who is an ex-convict? You brought me to come and embarrass me or what? I am not an ex-convict because I cannot be convicted for spraying money. So, I am not an ex-convict. I will not accept that. But if you say ex-man, I can say yes. Because I was once a man way back, I cannot even remember.

“You said it is an excursion. To me, I see it as a vacation. Vacation to go and rest. I have been working so hard. So their decision was okay for me. They decided to break me, but sadly, nothing happened to the mummy of Lagos.”

Bobrisky added that he was sentenced to prison by people who wanted to break him, stressing that his incarceration happened to him like a movie.

The crossdresser, however, said he is not an ex-convict, despite his recent prison sentence, adding that he would spray dollars and not naira at events in the future.

He said, “These people wanted to break me. Everything happened to me like a movie. Spraying of money? It is my money. I did not owe anybody money. I did not steal. I did not kidnap. And I was sentenced to where we have kidnappers, robbers.

“I am still going to spray money, but I will only spray dollars, not naira.”

Speaking on the reason he pleaded guilty in court, Bobrisky said, “If I had told the judge I was not guilty, she would give me bail, and I would go to my house. I told the judge I was guilty because I was the one showing on the video.

“I believed that when I told the judge the truth, whether my lord was a man or a woman, I did not care. It now depends on my lord to decide whether I would be given the option of fine, community service or anything. But my lord chose to sentence Bobrisky to prison.”

Speaking further, Bobriksy disclosed that he was locked in the male section of the correctional centre, adding that he was not kept in the Very Important Person section.

He said, “I was at the male correctional centre, and I loved it. If they had given me the female correctional centre, I would not have fun. I would not enjoy myself”.

“While at the male correctional centre, I was the only different person. So people were friendly to me. They were showing me care. They were giving me stuff. If I had stayed in the female, who would have shown me care and bought me food?

“But I was in the female EFCC custody. Because there were four people in the room. Like four to five guys in a room, and obviously, this is a baddie with boobs, a nice shape. So, they would not put me among those guys.”

EFCC Invites Okoya’s Sons Over ‘Abuse Of Naira’ In Viral Video

Published

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited Subomi and Wahab, the sons of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya, for interrogation over alleged abuse of the naira.

In the invite signed by Michael Wetkas, acting director of the Lagos directorate of the EFCC, the anti-graft agency directed the duo to report to the head, special operations team at the 15A Awolowo Road office of the commission by 10am on Monday, January 13, 2025.

The Okoya brothers have been in the news for “abusing the naira” in a promotional video for a new song.

The video — which featured a police officer holding wads of N1,000 notes as the boys encircled to a tune — had elicited outrage on social media.

On January 10, Muyiwa Adejobi, spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), announced that the officer seen in the video had been arrested and detained.

He said the officer’s actions were unethical, adding that he would face disciplinary action.

“The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action,” Adejobi wrote on X.

“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police.”

In 2024, the EFCC ramped up its enforcement of naira abuse by celebritries, citing Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act.

On April 4, Bobrisky, the social media celebrity, was arrested by the commission in Lagos for defacing naira notes.

The crossdresser was arraigned on a six-count charge by the EFCC.

Video: Jumoke Orisaguna Opens Up About Post-Fame Struggles

Published

After years of drifting into obscurity, Olajumoke Orisaguna, the Lagos bread seller who shot to popularity in 2016 after being spotted by renowned photographer, TY Bello, is making a stunning comeback – this time as a broadcaster, JomogNews reports.

Popularly known as Jumoke Oniburedi, she garnered national fame after Ty Bello noticed her during a photo session as she was selling bread on the streets of Lagos and realized her potential as a model.

Her narrative of climbing from grass to grace became a media sensation, showcasing her on magazine covers and inspiring countless Nigerians.

However, her path took a downward turn four years ago when she lost her fame, wealth, and public relevance after falling prey to fraud reportedly committed by her former manager.

Jumoke claimed she was tricked by the manager, who drained her money acquired through endorsement deals and other commercial activities.

The Comeback of Olajumoke (Oni Bredi) was a Cardinal Foundation meet-and-greet event where she told her story and revealed this.

Jumoke said, “I really suffered and lost everything. She took me to South Africa twice for a documentary, but I had to pay for our flights and accommodation. When we returned to Nigeria, she only gave me N50,000. I had no money, nothing. I lost everything. I started calling people for foodstuff. It was Aunty Azuka and TY Bello who came to my rescue.

“Aunty Azuka paid my rent, furnished a shop for me, and regularly sent me foodstuffs and money to take care of my daughters. It was that bad.

“I have learned my lessons, and I will never leave those who truly mean well to me again.”

Jumoke expressed gratitude to the CEO of Media Room Hub, Azuka Ogujiuba, TY Bello, and Mrs Adedoja Allen, who supported her throughout those tough times.

Despite her strained relationship with Ogujiuba, whom her former manager had allegedly alienated her from, Ogujiuba provided financial assistance for food and rent.

“Aunty Azuka and TY Bello really helped me. Whenever I called Azuka for help, she would provide it, even when she didn’t have much—her daughter would step in. TY Bello also assisted me financially. I am so grateful to these two women; they were my saving grace.”

To help Jumoke rebuild her life, Ogujiuba approached the CEO of City FM and founder of the Cardinal Foundation, an initiative of Cardinal Broadcasting, Mrs. Adedoja Allen, to offer her an opportunity in broadcasting.

Ogujiuba recounted how she involved the police to arrest Jumoke’s former manager, who had defrauded her. However, the case yielded no significant outcome as the manager was released and failed to honour subsequent police invitations.
