He was charged on a six-count charge of money laundering and abuse of the Naira, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on April 5.

However, once he admitted to the crime, the court dropped the money laundering allegations against him but found him guilty of naira abuse.

Additionally, the court ruled that he should be kept in the custody of the EFCC in Lagos.

On April 5, Bobrisky entered a guilty plea to the commission’s four charges of naira misuse brought against him.
