Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has advised Nigerians to desist from spraying any currency in Nigeria in order not to be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

‎
‎Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, Iyabo Ojo stated that she wants to share her story about her ordeal with the EFCC, following the agency's invitation.

‎
‎According to her, "I recently had an experience with the EFCC in Nigeria after receiving an invitation letter while I was in the UK. Upon my return, I visited the EFCC on the 5th day of May 2025, where I was asked several questions relating to my personal bio data, career, work experience, and companies, amongst others."

‎
‎She revealed that the anti-graft agency showed her videos from her daughter, Priscilla's wedding to her Tanzanian heartrob and singer, Juma Jux. She noted that the video showed many colleagues and friends spraying Naira and foreign currencies at the wedding.

‎
‎Explaining further, Iyabo Ojo emphasized that she was told by the officials of the EFCC that the act of spraying Naira or any other currency was illegal. She urged Nigerians to desist from the act and obey the law.

‎
‎Iyabo Ojo wrote:
‎"Good afternoon, lovely people.
‎
‎Following the recent media publication on social media and numerous calls and texts messages from different quarters seeking to hear from me on the EFCC invitation and to ascertain my welfare, I find it expedient to release this briefing.

‎
‎I recently had an experience with the EFCC in Nigeria after receiving an invitation letter while I was in the UK. Upon my return, I visited the EFCC on the 5th day of May 2025, where I was asked several questions relating to my personal bio data, career, work experience, and companies, amongst others.

‎
‎The EFCC officials showed me videos extracted from my daughter's wedding where guests, including colleagues and friends, were spraying Naira and foreign currencies.

‎
‎I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I thought only abuse or mutilation of the Naira was an offense.

‎
‎The EFCC officials clarified that spraying money, including on people's bodies, is prohibited. I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including Dollars, is also not allowed.

‎
‎After questioning, I was allowed to leave the same day, but my personal lawyer, O.I. Salami stood in for me as I may be called upon again.

‎
‎Given this experience, I strongly advise against spraying any currency in Nigeria to avoid issues with the EFCC.

‎
‎Perhaps it's time to reconsider this long-standing tradition. Let's prioritize caution and avoid any potential problems.

‎
‎Thank you.
