“Yes, I am guilty,” Bob said, when the court registrar asked if he understood the charge that was read to him.
The EFCC’s witness who was called to the stand was one Mr Bolaji Temitope. During interrogation Temitope said:
“The EFCC received intelligence of individuals who are in the habit of spraying Naira during parties in Lagos. Base on this, the EFCC set out an operation team to monitor and observe the activities of individuals who are the habit of doing so. We usually visit event centres and monitor social media pages where the Naira is being abused.”
Mr Temitope further shared how Bobrisky had been under supervision:
“During the exercise we came across videos on social media where the defendant was seen abusing the Naira. Our team then proceeded to view the video and burnt same on CD. Consequently, an invitation letter was forwarded to the defendant. When he honoured the invitation.”
The multiple times Bobrisky had been seen public spraying the naira notes and abusing it was revealed with video evidences:
“The defendant was shown a video where he was spraying money on Segun Johnson. He confirmed that he was the one in the video. An event at the Island circle mall was also shown to the defendant. A total of 400k was spent. The defendant was also shown another video in Aja Junction, Ikorodu and an event centre at Ikeja. He admitted spraying money in all the videos. He then offered his statement in writing.”
The sitting judge on the case, Justice Awogboro gave his ruling after listening to the EFCC personel, saying:
“The defendant is convicted as charged.”
In response to this Bobrisky pleaded for mercy noting that he was unaware that spraying of money at parties was a crime. He also begged for a second chance noting that he regrets his actions and would never repeat it.
