The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited popular Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo over alleged abuse of the naira at her daughter’s wedding.
Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Jux got married in Nigeria on April 17, 2025. It came after their Islamic wedding in Tanzania in February.
The wedding was the most talked-about ceremony on the internet. At the event were both Nigerian and foreign celebrities.
Guests were captured at the lavish wedding spraying dollar bills and Naira notes.
However, addressing the viral speculations about her encounter with the EFCC after the ceremony, 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.”
