The EFCC had a few days ago invited Wahab and Raheem Okoya, sons of the renowned businessman, for questioning over alleged naira abuse.
The brothers were seen in a viral video spraying bundles of N1,000 notes in a supposed promotional clip for Raheem’s new song, “Credit Alert.”
The video, which also featured a police officer holding stacks of naira notes, sparked public outrage on social media.
The police had confirmed the arrest of the police officer while the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said the billionaire’s sons were asked to report to the commission’s Lagos office for questioning on Monday.

“I am particularly delighted that your life-long civic engagement has been centred on promoting the education and spiritual life of Nigerians. Your generosity in offering scholarships has transformed the lives of many individuals.”
Onanuga added that President Tinubu hopes that Chief Okoya’s life would continue to serve as an inspiration to business leaders across the country. ...CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE➤
