Reno Omokri, a former presidential assistant and activist, has expressed why he believes Bobrisky was wrongfully detained, prosecuted, and imprisoned for Naira abuse.
Reno expressed his opinion on his Instagram page, saying that although the Nigerian government wanted to take action against the cross-dressing culture that was becoming popular there, they knew that doing so would draw criticism from Western powers. As a result, they had to take the same approach as popular cross-dresser Bobrisky.
He wrote ‘’The Real Reason Government Went After Bobrisky"
What happened with Bobrisky just shows you the savviness of Nigeria compared to other nations and the intellectual response to governing on display by the current administration.
The Nigerian government obviously wanted to clamp down on the trending cross-dressing culture in Nigeria. But the government was also aware of the fact that any direct move in that regard would earn it the whip of the Western powers.
Recall that popular crossdresser Bobrisky has been sentenced to six months imprisonment without an option of a fine for abusing the naira
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court, Lagos, in her sentence, said the judgment will serve as a deterrent to others who are fond of abusing and mutilating the naira.
