Bobrisky’s Money Laundering Case: EFCC Clarification
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently clarified that the money laundering charges against popular Nigerian crossdresser,
Bobrisky, were lawfully dropped. According to the EFCC, the decision was made based on findings from the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML), which confirmed that Bobrisky’s company, Bob Express, was not registered as a Designated Non-Financial Institution, Business, and Profession (DNFIBP), making it ineligible for prosecution under the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act of 2022.
The EFCC prosecutor, Bilikisu Bala, emphasized that the decision was in full compliance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) and dismissed any claims of financial inducement.
The charges dropped were specifically related to money laundering, while Bobrisky had already pleaded guilty to charges of naira abuse
