‘I am a Man’ Bobrisky Confesses in Court, bags Jail Term

The gender of the crossdresser has continue to stir controversy as he claims to have undergone various surgeries to transition.

Despite asserting readiness to conceive a child, Bobrisky occasionally presents himself as a man.

In 2023, during his father’s funeral in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, he appeared in masculine attire.

In a widely circulated video, the visibly uneasy crossdresser attempted to evade the camera. Clad in black attire and a scarf, he shielded part of his face with sunglasses, visibly uncomfortable whenever the camera focused on him.

However, before he was handed a 6-month jail term on Friday, Justice Abimbola Awogboro asked the convict of his sex, and he quickly replied, “I am a man My Lord.”

The judge subsequently sent him to jail and ruled that the jail term commenced from March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.

Awogboro said the judgment would be a deterrent to others who are found abusing and mutilating the naira.

The judge ruled that the jail term commenced on March 24, 2024, the day of his arrest.

On April 5, the court had convicted Bobrisky after he pleaded guilty to the charge of abusing the naira filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The judge therefore postponed the sentencing to Tuesday, April 9, 2024.

However, the day was declared a public holiday by the Federal Government for the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

Bobrisky had last Friday, after his conviction, pleaded with the court to give him a lesser punishment as he was not aware of the law of abusing the naira.

In his allocutus, he begged the court that he was not aware of the law of abusing the naira.

He said that he is a social media influencer with over five million followers.

The judge then told him that ignorance of the law was not an excuse.

He said, “I know, My Lord. My Lord, I wish that you could give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.

“I would do a video on my page, and I would educate people about spraying money.

” I will not repeat it, My Lord. I regret my actions, My Lord.”
