During his appearance at the Federal High Court in Lagos State on Friday, controversial crossdresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, acknowledged his male identity.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro then handed him a six-month prison sentence without the possibility of a fine for disrespecting the naira.
When queried by the judge about his gender, Bobrisky promptly affirmed, “I am a man.”
Awogboro said the judgment would be a deterrent to others who are found abusing and mutilating the naira.
