EFCC Cracks Down on Naira Abuse: Socialite E-Money Arrested

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken a bold step in its crackdown on naira abuse, arresting socialite E-Money over alleged violations. This move comes on the heels of a similar arrest of singer Terry Apala, who was remanded over alleged abuse of Nigeria’s banknotes.

E-Money, whose real name is Emeka Okonkwo, was arrested by the EFCC in Lagos and taken into custody in Abuja. The arrest is believed to be connected to a public event where E-Money was spotted spraying naira and US dollar bills, an act that allegedly violates Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange Act.

The EFCC’s actions demonstrate its commitment to enforcing Nigeria’s laws and protecting the country’s currency. The commission’s efforts to prevent naira abuse and other financial crimes are crucial in maintaining the integrity of the country’s economy.
