In a post shared by the anti-graft agency, it was stated that the case was dismissed by a Federal High Court in Lagos state on Thursday, November 28, 2024.

According to Justice Alexander Owoeye, Bobrisky’s claims of encroachment on his rights lacked merit.

The crossdresser had asked that the EFCC should stop harassing him and declaring him wanted. However, after hearing the case, Justice Owoeye concluded that he failed to provide credible evidence to justify his claims and what he wanted from the court.
