Reactions have trailed the release of controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, known as Bobrisky, from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos State.
The social media celebrity was released on Monday morning after serving six months imprisonment.
In a video sighted by our correspondent on X, Bobrisky was seen greeting his fans, who came to give him a welcoming reception.
PUNCH Online reported in April that Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos jailed Bobrisky for Naira abuse.
Justice Awogboro, who sentenced the cross-dresser without an option of a fine, said his sentence would serve as a lesson for others abusing the Naira.
Following the development, some netizens took to X.com to express their reactions to the crossdresser’s release from the correctional centre.
On X, a user, @toolzmoney, wrote, “Bobrisky after finally regaining his freedom. Una sure say this guy go prison??”
One tweep, OSG, posting as @OloriSupergal, wrote, “Bobrisky aka Mummy of Laygurrrrrrsssss is back!!!!”
One X.com user, Bàádì of Agègè, posting as @iamaleshinloye1, wrote, “Congratulations to all Nigerians.”
An X user, Peace Ighodaro, posting as @peace_igho, wrote, “See as Bobrisky dey glow. Abi make I go prison??”
Another tweep, Ehime, with the username @ehime24, wrote, “Deep in our hearts, we all know Bobrisky did not go to prison……Omo get money OOO, make prison no be like a vacation.”
One X.com user, Chioma Agwuegbo, posting as @ChiomaChuka, wrote, “A reminder that Bobrisky’s incarceration was unjust, heavy-handed, and can be described as targeted. There are several videos of politicians, their families, & politically exposed persons spraying naira; NONE of them have been arrested or jailed. A bad thing is a bad thing.”
An X user, Motara Lawrence, posting as @_theladymo wrote, “Bobrisky looks really fresh out of prison, be like say all of us go enter prison o.”
