April 5, 2024 EFCC Set to Prosecute Bobrisky on Charges of Money Laundering This Friday

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lodged a six-count charge against Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, famously known as Bobrisky, on Thursday.

Bobrisky is slated to appear before Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, for arraignment on Friday (today).

The charges encompass various alleged offenses, including abuse of the naira and purported money laundering.

As outlined by the EFCC Prosecutor, Senior Advocate of Nigeria Rotimi Oyedepo, along with seven other legal representatives, the accusations detail Bobrisky's actions at social events.

In the first count, Bobrisky is accused of tampering with N400,000 by spraying it while dancing at a gathering at the IMAX Circle Mall, Lekki, Lagos, on March 24, 2024. This contravenes Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act of 2007.

The subsequent counts detail similar incidents where Bobrisky allegedly tampered with varying amounts of money at different events.

Additionally, Bobrisky is charged with failing to disclose the activities of his company, Bob Express, to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering. This is in relation to transactions totaling N127.7 million and N53 million made between September 1, 2021, and April 4, 2024.

These actions are deemed offenses under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act and are punishable accordingly.
