JUST IN: EFCC Invites Billionaire Okoya’s Sons, Reason Emerges

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly sent an invitation to two sons of Razaq Okoya, a billionaire industrialist. The billionaire sons who have been invited are Subomi and Wahab. The invitation was in connection to an alleged naira abuse.

Michael Wetkas, the acting director of the EFCC in Lagos, signed the invitation to the billionaire children in a letter.

When will Okoya’s children visit EFCC?

According to the invitation, the Okoya brothers were to report to the head operational team of the anti-graft agency at the 15A Awolowo Road office at 10 am on Monday, January 13.

The Cable reported that the sons of the billionaires have been in the news recently for abusing the naira while making a promotional video for a new song.

The Nigeria Police Force has detained a yet-to-be-named officer seen in the viral video with the sons of the billionaire businessman abusing the naira.

Why police detained officers in viral video

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson of Nigeria’s police force, announced the officer’s arrest on his social media handle on Friday, January 10.

According to Adejobi, the actions of the police officer, as captured in the viral video, were unethical and contrary to the force’s values. He revealed that the police force was taking disciplinary action to sanction the misconduct. In the video, the officer was seen holding the stacks of currency.

The act violates Section 21(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, 2007, which prohibits the abuse of the national currency.
