Guests at the lavish wedding sprayed dollar bills and Naira notes. Iyabo Ojo explained that she was interrogated after honouring the agency’s invitation.
Ojo, in a post on her Instagram page, said:
“I was asked questions relating to my personal biodata, career, work experience, and my companies, amongst others.”
“I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I only thought abuse or mutilation of naira was an offense.”
“The EFCC clarified that spraying money on people’s bodies is prohibited. I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including dollars, is also not allowed.”
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has lawful powers to hold VeryDarkMan (VDM) over allegations of financial crimes raised against him.
