The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited Subomi and Wahab, sons of Nigerian billionaire industrialist, Rasaq Okoya over a viral video of them spraying Naira notes.
TheNewsGuru reported that Subomi, a musician and his brother, Wahab had shared a video of a policeman helping him carry bundles of cash as he promoted his new song, Credit Alert.
The viral video in question shows the constable standing with the boys as they make a social media video, dancing happily to the song whilst spraying money at each other.
On Friday, the Police in a statement, said the officer involved has been identified and detained for disciplinary action. The force added that the involvement of the policeman is unethical and contrary to the values of the Police.
“The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action. The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the Police. Thanks,” the statement read.
The development sparked reactions on X, with some Nigerians arguing that the billionaire’s sons are the “true offenders”. In a post via X, Sirheem begged for forgiveness, adding that he was “naive”.He also claimed that he was unaware of the legal implications of his actions.
In a new development, the acting director of EFCC, Lagos directorate, Michael Wetkas, in an invite, directed the brothers to report to the Head, of the Special Operations Team, at their 15A Awolowo Road office by 10 a.m. on Monday, January 13.
