Subomi and Wahab, sons of Nigerian billionaire industrialist Razaq Okoya, have been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning regarding the alleged abuse of the naira.
The duo was captured in a viral video spraying naira notes at a public event, an act that violates Section 21(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007. Subomi has since apologized to Nigerians, claiming ignorance of the law prohibiting such actions.
In a statement shared on his X account on Friday, Subomi expressed regret for his behavior. He wrote:
“To the Nigerian people, my actions were not intended to cause harm or controversy. My intentions were genuine but naive. I sincerely apologize and seek your understanding and support as I navigate this situation. I was unaware of the legal implications of my actions.”
Meanwhile, the EFCC, in a letter signed by Michael Wetkas, Acting Director of the Lagos Directorate, instructed Subomi and Wahab to appear before the Special Operations Team at the agency’s office located at 15A Awolowo Road, Lagos, by 10:00 am on Monday, January 13, 2025.
