BOBRISKY APPEALS HIS SIX MONTHS SENTENCE

Popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, has  filed a notice of appeal challenging the six months maximum sentence given to him by a Federal High Court, Lagos.

Bobrisky, was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on four counts bordering on naira abuse and was on April 12, sentenced to six months imprisonment without an option of fine.

However, his counsel, Bimbo Kusanu, filed a notice of appeal, praying the Court to set aside the maximum sentence and to replace the sentence with an option of ₦50,000 fine on each of the counts.

He argued that the sentence imposed by the trial court against the appellant was punitiveas someone who had no previous criminal record of conviction, stressing that such an act had occasioned a miscarriage of justice against the appellant.
