THE ECONOMIC AND and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited two sons of billionaire businessman, hief Razaq Okoya, for questioning over alleged naira abuse.
The sons of the billionaire invited are Wahab and Raheem.
The two sons of the business tycoon are expected to report to the commission’s Lagos office for questioning on Monday.
The activity of the brothers sparked widespread criticism after a video which surfaced showing them flaunting and spraying bundles of N1,000 notes in a promotional clip for Raheem’s new song titled “Credit Alert.”
The duo, dressed in white agbadas, danced while a mobile policeman held stacks of crisp naira notes, which they flung into the air in the video.
Their action disregard the , perceived by many as disregard for the law, drew condemnation on social media, with some Nigerians expressing doubts about accountability due to their father’s influential status.
The Nigeria Police Force Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Thursday said the officer seen in the video had been identified and arrested.
The Explainer noted that the EFCC invited the Okoya brothers.
In a statement signed by the Acting Director of the Lagos Directorate of the EFCC, Michael Wetkas, the Okoya brothers were directed to report to the Head, Special Operations Team, at the 15A Awolowo Road Office of the commission by 10 am on Monday, January 13, 2025.
The Explainer reported that one of Okoya’s sons, Raheem had publicly apologised to Nigeria through his X account, stating, “To the Nigerian people, my actions were not intended to cause any trouble or harm. My intentions were pure and naive. I ask for your forgiveness and support as I had no intention of raising such an alarm. I wasn’t fully aware of the consequences of my action.”
