The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
arrested popular Lagos socialite, Emeka Okonkwo Daniel, also known as E-Money,
for allegedly abusing the Naira.
It was gathered that he was picked up by operatives of the
commission on Monday night at his residence in Lagos.
The socialite is facing allegations of Naira abuse and the
defacement of foreign currencies, linked to his alleged act of spraying US
dollars—an offence under Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange Act.
The EFCC stated it has commenced preliminary investigations
and plans to charge E-Money to court upon conclusion of its inquiry.
It was also learnt that he has been flown to Abuja for
further interrogation by EFCC investigators.
The alleged currency spraying reportedly took place at a
social event in Lagos, although specific details of the occasion remain
undisclosed.
When contacted, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale declined to
comment. However, credible sources within the Commission have confirmed both
the arrest and the ongoing investigation.
