The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria has come under scrutiny for its seemingly selective enforcement of laws regarding naira abuse. The controversy erupted when popular crossdresser Bobrisky was swiftly prosecuted and sentenced to six months imprisonment for spraying naira notes at a movie premiere's afterparty.
This move sparked public outrage and accusations of bias, especially considering similar actions by wealthy elites that went unpunished. High-profile figures like Obi Cubana, Regina Daniels, and Wizkid have been captured on video extravagantly showering naira notes at public events without facing legal consequences.
Despite clear evidence of naira abuse, these individuals have not been targeted by the EFCC, raising questions about fairness and equity in the Nigerian legal system.
The discrepancy in enforcement has led to widespread criticism and calls for accountability within the EFCC, highlighting the need for consistent application of the law regardless of one's social status or influence.
