Bobrisky has been convicted by Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Ikeja after he pleaded guilty to abuse of the naira. While being arraigned in the court this afternoon, Bobrisky pleaded with the court to tamper justice with mercy as he was not aware of the law on abusing the Naira. He promised to use his platform to educate Nigerians on the ills of abusing the Naira.
“My lord I wish that you can give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.
I’m a social media influencer with over five million followers. I would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money. I will not repeat it again my lord, I regret my actions my lord”.
