The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has summoned Subomi and Wahab Okoya, sons of billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya, for questioning over alleged naira abuse.
Newsonspot reports the invitation followed a viral video which shows the duo appearing to throw naira notes into the air last week, while a police officer held stacks of the currency.
The incident reignited concerns over the abuse of Nigeria’s currency and the involvement of law enforcement officers in private activities.
In his response to the backlash, Subomi Okoya, also known as Sirheem, issued an apology via X, describing his actions in the viral video as naive and unintentional.
The Nigerian Police subsequently identified and detained the policeman captured in the video.
But there have been calls from Nigerians especially on social media for the arrest of the Okoya’s sons as well.
In an invitation signed by Michael Wetkas, the acting director of the Lagos directorate of the EFCC, the brothers have been directed to appear at the commission’s office at 15A Awolowo Road, Lagos, on Monday, January 13 by 10:00 am.
The Okoya brothers have been in the news for “abusing the naira” in a promotional video for a new song.
