Human rights activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has denied reports making the rounds that he has appealed the conviction of popular cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky.

In an exclusive telephone interview with our correspondent on Monday, Adeyanju noted that he’s neither an attorney to Bobrisky nor he filed an appeal on his behalf.

Adeyanju said, “I didn’t file any appeal on Bobrisky’s behalf. I am not representing Bobrisky on any matter.”

On Friday, April 5, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arraigned Bobrisky on a six-count charge ranging from abuse of the naira to money laundering.

The court, however, dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted him after he pleaded guilty to four counts of abuse of the naira.

Bobrisky was on Friday, April 12, sentenced to six months imprisonment over naira abuse with no option of fine

It was, however, reported on Monday that the convicted crossdresser appealed his sentencing while urging the appellate court to set aside the six months imprisonment.

SoNature:
The EFCC really humbled Mummy of Lagos in that mugshot. He should've appealed the case and pleaded not guilty to get a fair sentence like Cubana Chief Priest.

If these court cases are really about mutilating the naira notes, NOA should take this campaign to market places. Those market women contribute significantly to destroying the naira.

On the other hand, conductors must be appreciated for always keeping the naira straight at all times.

ivolt:
It would be risky for Bobrisky to appeal his judgment.
He might be slammed with fresh money laundering or tax evasion charges.
He, like many Nigerians definitely cannot beat a tax evasion charge.
