Nigerian content creator Timi Agbaje has provided a detailed explanation as to why crossdresser Bobrisky was imprisoned whereas socialite Cubana Chief Priest was granted free despite being accused with the same offence.
After pleading guilty to Naira abuse, Bobrisky was sentenced to six months in prison without the option of a fee last week by a Federal High Court in Lagos state.
However, on Wednesday, April 17, the same court granted Cubana Chief Priest N10 million bail after he pleaded not guilty to Naira abuse.
Timi Agbaje, a law graduate, said that the court’s differing judgements were due to Bobrisky’s guilty plea and Cubana Chief Priest’s not guilty.
According to him, in Bobrisky’s instance, two plausible choices were possible as a result of his plea, which was either he pays a fine or get jailed.
However, Cubana Chief Priest was granted bail since, under the law, no case exists unless the EFCC can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he misappropriated Nigerian cash.
Timi Agbaje went on to say that the defence counsel might argue that the money sprayed in the video, which the EFCC has, is not legal currency.
