The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has paraded controversial transgender, Bobrisky, over abuse of Nigerian naira and currency mutilation.
KanyiDaily recalls that Bobrisky was arrested on Wednesday evening, April 3, and has since been detained at the EFCC’s Lagos Command.
The EFCC paraded Bobrisky on Thursday by sharing photos of him in their custody, along with a statement confirming the arrest.
