panpan:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be dissolved. The laws enabling EFCC should be repealed.
Arresting people involved in the spraying of naira notes does not justify EFCC's existence.
In summary, EFCC is of no benefit to the general Nigerian population.

Mark this...in 2028 there would be an uprising against EFCC by the youths of this country jus like the end SARS

Re: Naira Abuse: EFCC Arrests Suspended Okpebholo’s Aide, Okungbowa in Edo by sajjadhasan08: 10:49am On Mar 18, 2025

On March 17, 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Kelly Okungbowa, also known as "Ebo Stone," in Benin City, Edo State, for alleged naira abuse. Okungbowa, formerly the coordinator of the Edo State Public Safety Response Team (PSRT), was suspended by the state government prior to his arrest.
EFCC

The arrest followed the emergence of a viral video dated March 9, 2025, showing Okungbowa spraying and mutilating naira notes at a bar. Such actions contravene the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act of 2007, which criminalizes the abuse of the national currency, prescribing penalties of up to six months imprisonment, a ₦50,000 fine, or both.
PM NEWS NIGERIA

The EFCC's Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, confirmed that Okungbowa will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations.
EFCC

In response to the arrest, the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) commended the EFCC's swift action. Chris Nehikhare, the Publicity Secretary of the State's caretaker committee, emphasized that such criminal and irresponsible actions will not be tolerated, regardless of the perpetrator’s position or influence.

This incident underscores the Nigerian authorities' commitment to enforcing laws against currency abuse and maintaining the integrity of the nation's legal tender.
