Despite being granted administrative bail, Bobrisky remains in EFCC custody after failing to meet the conditions. EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed Bobrisky’s bail status, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the national currency.
Bobrisky’s detention reportedly includes being held in isolation, without other inmates, as investigations continue. The EFCC has vowed to ensure a thorough investigation, with plans to proceed with court charges upon completion.
The case gained attention following a video showing Bobrisky allegedly flaunting and spraying Naira notes at a movie premiere in Lekki. The EFCC has stated that Bobrisky arrived for interrogation voluntarily, and further actions will be taken pending the conclusion of investigations.
