We are investigating banks, celebrities over naira abuse – EFCC | read more
Following the conviction of cross dresser Okuneye Idris Olarewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that it is investigating banks and some celebrities over naira mutilation.
Recall that some Nigerians have been clamouring for EFCC to go after top politicians and individuals same way they did to Bobrisky.
Reacting, EFCC in a post made on its Facebook page said;
“Public support in reporting Naira abuse and Dollarization of the economy is appreciated, with increased awareness of the issue.
The EFCC is committed to prosecuting those involved in Naira abuse, having in mind that a new task force came into operation since February 7, 2024.
Several celebrities are under investigation for Naira abuse, with some providing statements and more likely to be invited for questioning.
The EFCC maintains its no-sacred-cow approach, warning the public to comply with laws against the crime.
