Controversial public figure Bobrisky is set to appear in the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, this morning.
This comes after he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and granted bail, which he couldn’t meet.
News About Nigeria gathered that Bobrisky arrived at the court escorted by EFCC officials and armed police officers in a white Toyota bus.
The charges against Bobrisky involve allegations of money laundering and mishandling of Naira currency.
The accusations include spraying Naira notes at a social function and laundering N180 million through his company, Bob Express.
The EFCC alleges Bobrisky tampered with Naira notes on multiple occasions at different events.
In detail, count one alleges that Bobrisky sprayed and tampered with N400,000 while dancing at a social event held at the IMAX Circle Mall in Lekki, Lagos.
In the second count, it is claimed that Bobrisky also tampered with N50,000 by spraying it during a social event at Aja Junction, Ikorodu, between July and August 2023.
Count three accuses Bobrisky of spraying and tampering with N20,000 at the White Steve Event Hall in Ikeja, Lagos, in December 2023.
The fourth count states that Bobrisky sprayed and tampered with N20,000 while dancing at another event in Oniru, Victoria Island.
In the fifth count, Bobrisky, operating under the name Bob Express between September 1, 2021, and April 4, 2024, in Lagos, allegedly failed to declare the activities of the company to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering.
During this period, N127.7 million was deposited into the company’s Ecobank account.
In the sixth count, Bobrisky is accused of again failing to declare the company’s activities during the same period, despite another N53 million being deposited into the company’s account, violating sections of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act.
The case is expected to be heard before Justice Abimbola Awogboro.
