Bobrisky sentenced to six months imprisonment for Naira mutilation.
Nigerian socialite, Bobrisky has just been found guilty of abusing and mutilating the country’s currency and has been sentenced to six months imprisonment. The popular social media personality plead guilty to this crime, claiming ignorance about the laws against mutilating the Naira and promising the court to further sensitize Nigerians on the subject. The court however ruled a prison sentence, with no option for a fine. This has caused major uproar among Nigerians who believe Bobrisky to be a targeted victim by the court’s exclusion of the option to pay a fine as registered in the constitution.
