The release of controversial cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos State has sparked widespread reactions.
The social media celebrity was freed on Monday morning after serving a six-month prison sentence.
In a video posted on X, Bobrisky can be seen greeting fans who gathered to welcome him.
Justice Awogboro, who sentenced Bobrisky without an option for a fine, stated that the punishment should serve as a deterrent for others who abuse the Naira.
Following Bobrisky’s release, netizens took to X.com to share their thoughts and reactions about his time in the correctional center and his return to public life.
On X, a user, @toolzmoney, wrote, “Bobrisky after finally regaining his freedom. Una sure say this guy go prison??”

Speaking with journalists shortly after his release, Bobrisky has advised Nigerians to obey the laws of the country and respect the Naira.
The crossdresser warned Nigerians against abusing the Naira in order not to end up in prison, adding that the country’s currency should be respected at all times.
He said, “You have to follow the rules and abide by the laws. Don’t spray money, or you will become a landlord in Kirikiri.
“It is not just about killing or any criminal activity that can bring you to prison. Something light as spaying of naira can take you there.”
Bobrisky added, “I’m only focusing on my good energy right now on people who were there for me, like my friends. You see, any other person, I’m not interested. So, I don’t want to talk about them. I’m really grateful to my friends and loved ones.”
