Bobrisky had been held by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since his arrest, facing charges related to naira mutilation.

In a piece on X, Yesufu questioned the wisdom of Bobrisky’s guilty plea, drawing attention to the distinction between money spraying and actual currency mutilation.

She highlighted the inconsistency in equating money spraying with mutilation, especially considering the leniency often afforded to politicians who engage in similar acts.

Yesufu disputed the characterization of money spraying as mutilation, advocating for fair and unbiased prosecution rather than selective targeting based on personal values.

She proposed that if Bobrisky had committed other offenses, he should face appropriate charges instead of what she deemed as unjust and disproportionate punishment.
