Recall that On April 12, 2024, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, sentenced Bobrisky to six months’ imprisonment without the option of a fine for abusing the Nigerian currency.
The judge emphasized that the verdict aimed to deter others from similar actions of currency abuse and mutilation.
