The charges also detail instances where Bobrisky is accused of spraying and tampering with N50,000 at Aja Junction, Ikorodu, in July and August 2023, and an additional N20,000 at White Steve Event Hall in Ikeja in December 2023.

Another allegation involves him spraying and tampering with another sum of N20,000 at an event in Oniru, Victoria Island.

Furthermore, Bobrisky faces accusations related to his business activities. He is alleged to have failed to submit declarations of the activities of his company, Bob Express, to the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering, despite significant sums totaling N127.7m and N53m being paid into the company’s account between September 1, 2021, and April 4, 2024.
