EFCC invites Okoya’s sons over Naira spraying video

Subomi and Wahab, two of sons of billionaire business mogul, Razaq Okoya, have been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over a viral video of them spraying Naira notes, The Cable reports.

The invitation from the agency was signed by its acting director, Michael Wetkas.

The EFCC has directed the brothers to report to the Head, Special Operations Team, at their 15A Awolowo Road office by 10am on Monday, January 13.

In a viral video, Subomi and his brother Wahab were seen spraying naira notes, while a police officer held stacks of the currency, a violation of Section 21(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.

Police authorities, on Friday, said that it had identified and detained the policeman captured in the video.

The NPF disclosed this on its official X handle, stating, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.”

The NPF condemned the officer’s actions, calling them unethical and contrary to the values of the police force. “The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police,” the statement read.

However, several X users demanded that Okoya’s sons should also be detained.

Recall that in 2024, popular socialite and cross-dresser Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, was imprisoned for a similar offence.
