EFCC Summons Okoya Brothers Over Viral Naira Abuse Video

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has summoned Subomi and Wahab Okoya, sons of billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya, for interrogation over alleged abuse of the naira.

In an invitation signed by Michael Wetkas, Acting Director of the Lagos Directorate of the EFCC, the anti-graft agency directed the Okoya brothers to appear before its Special Operations Team at the commission’s office on 15A Awolowo Road, Lagos, at 10 a.m. on Monday, January 13, 2025.

The controversy stems from a promotional video shared by the brothers for a new song. The footage showed a police officer holding wads of N1,000 notes while the brothers encircled him to a background tune, an act that sparked outrage on social media.

The video also drew criticism from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), which identified and detained the officer involved.

“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,” said Muyiwa Adejobi, the NPF spokesperson, in a statement on January 10.

Adejobi described the officer’s behavior as “unethical” and emphasized that disciplinary measures would be taken to uphold the integrity of the police force.

“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,” he added.
