Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos gave the judgment on Friday morning, April 12.

Justice Awogboro held that the judgement would serve as a deterrence to others fond of abusing and mutilating the Nigerian currency.

 

Trouble started for Bobrisky after he sprayed money at the premiere of Ajakaju, a keenly awaited film by actress and producer Eniola Ajao, at Film One Circle Mall, in the upmarket Lagos district of Lekki last month.

 

This is not the first time a Nigerian celebrity will be jailed for Naira abuse.
