Just In : Bobrisky granted bail after spending months in prison

Controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, has been released.

He was released today after serving six months in jail. He was released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre on Monday about 10 a.m. In April, The Nation reported that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos convicted Bobrisky for Naira abuse.

The judge punished the cross-dresser without the option of a fine, saying his sentence would serve as a lesson to others who abuse the Naira.

His jail term began on March 24, coinciding with the day of his arrest.
