The EFCC has arrested TikTok influencer Murja Kunya in Kano over alleged naira abuse. The arrest has sparked online reactions, with some supporting the crackdown while others accuse the agency of selective justice. Kunya, known for her controversial content, may face prosecution after the ongoing investigation.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested TikTok influencer Murja Ibrahim Kunya in Kano for allegedly mishandling the Nigerian currency. A source within the agency confirmed that investigations are ongoing and that Kunya may face prosecution upon conclusion.
Kunya, known for her controversial TikTok content, has amassed a significant following under her username "Yagayagamen." While her rise to fame began as a hobby, her social media activity has led to several legal run-ins. Her latest arrest is part of a broader crackdown by the EFCC on social media influencers accused of naira abuse, with others like Al’amin G-Fresh and Ashir Idris previously detained on similar charges.
The arrest has sparked mixed reactions online. Some users criticized Kunya, calling her "beauty with no brain," while others condemned the EFCC for what they see as selective justice. Several commenters referenced the Okoye brothers, claiming they received lighter treatment for similar offenses.
With social media backlash growing, questions arise about the EFCC's priorities and the consistency of its enforcement. Meanwhile, Kunya remains in custody as the investigation continues.
