Bobrisky, the social media celebrity, has pleaded guilty to the first four counts bordering on naira abuse.
The social media celebrity was arrested on Wednesday night in Lagos for allegedly abusing the naira notes.
The crossdresser was arraigned on a six-count charge on Friday before the federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
While four of the charges are related to alleged naira abuse, the remaining two counts involve alleged money laundering.
When the charge was read during court sitting, the self-proclaimed transgender pleaded guilty to the first four counts bordering on naira abuse.
“Yes, I am guilty,” she replied to the charge.
Prior to this, the EFCC’s counsel had sought Abimbola Awogboro, the presiding judge, to strike out counts five and six which are on the money laundering allegations.
Awogboro subsequently struck out counts five and six, paving the way for the arraignment of Bobrisky on the abuse of the naira.
