Let’s rewind a bit.
On April 5th, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought charges against Bobrisky, accusing him of six offenses, including abusing the Nigerian currency, the Naira, and money laundering.
While the money laundering charges were dismissed by the court, Bobrisky pleaded guilty to the Naira abuse charges. This confession ultimately led to his conviction.
