Human rights advocate Omoyele Sowore has expressed that it would be more productive for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other government agencies to focus their efforts on prosecuting politicians who are embezzling public funds, rather than mocking popular cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky.
It had earlier been reported that an official of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) confirmed that the male reproductive organ of Bobrisky currently being held in Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos is complete and intact.
Reacting to this, Sowore described the Correctional Service’s remark on Bobrisky as a wasted effort and as despicable conduct.
He wrote, “It is a terrible country. @officialEFCC recovered N32billion and another $445,000 between Betty Edu and Umar-Farouq of the Humanitarian ministry.
“None of them has been prosecuted by now for these humongous frauds, but @BobriskyIdris has spent 6 months in jail for “spraying Naira” and now it is correctional facility @correctionsng officials where he’s detained entertaining the public daily with the description of his male organ! Despicable, useless, dishonest and disreputable people. #RevolutionNow.”

Recall that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on April 12 convicted and sentenced Bobrisky to six months in jail without the option of a fine over naira abuse.
SaharaReporters had also reported how Bobrisky was arrested by the personnel of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos State, for mutilation of naira notes and not for his lifestyle as a cross-dresser.
