The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly invited Subomi and Wahab Okoya, sons of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya, for questioning.

It was gathered that the two Okoya brothers were invited in respect of a viral video that showed them allegedly abusing the Nigerian currency, the Naira, an offence under Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act of 2007.

In the invite signed by Michael Wetkas, acting director of EFCC, Lagos directorate, the anti-graft agency directed the brothers to report to the Head, Special Operations Team, at the EFCC’s 15A Awolowo Road office by 10 a.m. on Monday, January 13.

This invitation follows public outcry and discussions on social media about the incident, where the brothers were seen spraying Naira notes at a public social event.

The outrage came after the detention of a police officer who was also seen in the video.

Many Nigerians who took to their respective social media accounts queried why the police only arrested the officer sighted in the video and not the Okoya brothers.
