After a viral video showed him spraying cash at a party, businessman E-Money was arrested by EFCC. Now he’s out — and urging Nigerians to obey currency laws.
- E-Money was arrested in Lagos and taken to Abuja by the EFCC
- The arrest followed viral clips of him spraying Naira and Dollars at events
- He was released the same day, but later posted a video urging people to “respect the law.”
- He advised partygoers to give money respectfully, using bowls or baskets
- Social media users questioned EFCC’s selective enforcement and motives
This episode is more than a slap on the wrist — it’s a quiet warning. As a popular figure with millions of followers, E-Money’s public “lesson” feels deliberate. While he handled it with grace, critics say EFCC’s crackdown seems targeted, citing other recent high-profile parties where money was openly sprayed with no consequence. The law is clear — but is it being applied fairly?
Will this change how Nigerians party — or is it just EFCC sending a message through a celebrity? One thing’s clear: ignorance won’t save you next time.
