Bobrisky growing beard in EFCC custody; denied access to shaving cream – Source

Popular Nigerian cross-dresser Bobrisky’s beard has made an unexpected appearance after being denied access to his shaving cream while in EFCC custody, according to a source within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The PAPERS reports that the controversial social media personality, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, was arrested on April 3 and convicted by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Friday, April 5, 2024, after pleading guilty to the charges of naira abuse levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The EFCC filed a six-count against Bobrisky, with the first four counts related to Naira abuse and the last two counts concerning alleged money laundering.

Prior to reading the charges, the EFCC prosecutor requested the court to dismiss counts five and six.

Bobrisky pleaded guilty to the four-count charge of Naira abuse.

He, however, asked to be pardoned, adding that he was not aware of the laws binding the Naira abuse and vowed to educate his fans on social media about it.

Our source revealed that the crossdresser will likely spend his holiday in custody as his beard already growing while the officers refute his plea to have access to his shaving cream.
The source did not provide further details on the circumstances surrounding the denial of shaving cream or the length and appearance of Bobrisky’s beard.

However, Bobrisky’s fans and followers have been expressing concern and curiosity about his well-being.
