Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have launched an investigation into Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, for his alleged involvement in the spraying of Naira notes. Bobrisky, a Nigerian transgender woman and prominent figure on social media platforms such as Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram, is facing scrutiny after a video surfaced showing him flaunting wads of new Naira notes at the premiere of a movie, “Ajakaju,” produced by Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao.

The EFCC invited the 31-year-old following reports of his actions at the movie premiere, which took place at Film One Circle Mall in Lekki, Lagos, on March 24, 2024. It was discovered during the investigation that Bobrisky had allegedly engaged in similar behavior at other event centers and parties on various occasions.
Responding to the EFCC’s invitation, Bobrisky appeared at the Lagos Zonal Command of the EFCC on the morning of Wednesday, April 4, 2024, for questioning. He cooperated with the authorities and provided his statements voluntarily. Upon the conclusion of the investigations, Bobrisky will be charged to court to face the allegations against him.
The EFCC’s move underscores its commitment to enforcing financial regulations and combating illicit activities involving currency abuse. Bobrisky’s case serves as a reminder that all individuals, regardless of their social status or influence, are subject to the law, and any breaches will be investigated and prosecuted accordingly.
