In a recent development in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Nigerian social media personality Bobrisky, reports have emerged indicating that Bobrisky has filed a notice of appeal challenging his recent conviction and subsequent six-month imprisonment. This comes after Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye, was found guilty of several charges, including money abuse and mutilation.
According to sources, Bobrisky’s legal representative, Bimbo Kusanu, has taken action by filing the notice of appeal in an attempt to overturn the court’s decision and replace the sentence with a fine. The appeal asserts that Bobrisky is prepared to pay N50,000 for each offense, amounting to a total of N200,000. This move demonstrates Bobrisky’s determination to contest the verdict and avoid serving time in prison.
The legal proceedings stem from an incident earlier this year when Bobrisky was apprehended and charged with multiple offenses related to financial misconduct and other illicit activities. Despite admitting guilt to the charges, Bobrisky maintains his innocence and contends that the punishment handed down by the court is unduly severe.
In response to news of the appeal, reactions from fans and observers have been varied. While some express empathy for Bobrisky’s plight, hoping for a favorable outcome in the appeals process, others criticize Bobrisky’s actions and assert that justice must prevail.
