The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has sent an indirect warning to Nigerians engaging in Naira abuse and mutilation.
The anti-graft agency stressed that individuals will face prosecution if persuasion isn’t practical.
In addition, it urged those in doubt to seek clarification from convicted controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky.
Recall that Bobrisky was arrested last Wednesday evening by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos State for alleged money laundering and Naira abuse.
The statement was released in response to a Lagos court’s verdict, sentencing Bobrisky to six months’ imprisonment for naira abuse.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro handed down the six-month sentence without the option of a fine.
In a Friday post on its official X handle, the EFCC warned that those who continue to abuse the naira will have no excuse when the agency takes action.
“Say No To Abuse of the Naira. If preaching will not send the message, conviction will,” EFCC wrote on X.
