Commission (EFCC) has invited Subomi and Wahab, sons of Razaq Okoya, the billionaire industrialist for interrogation over alleged abuse of the naira.
Gatekeepers News reports that the invite was signed by Michael Wetkas, acting director of Lagos directorate of the anti-graft agency.
This comes after the brothers were seen in a viral video that has sparked controversy online, flaunting many bundles of naira in an attempt to promote a song titled “ Credit Alert” sung by Subomi. A police officer also featured in the video, holding the wads of N1000 notes for the billionaire heirs.
EFCC asked them to report to the head of special operations team at 15A Awolowo Road office of the commission by 10am on Monday, January 13, 2025.
Muyiwa Adejobi, spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Friday, announced that the police officer seen in the video had been arrested and detained.
He noted that the officer’s actions were unethical, adding that he would face disciplinary action.
The spokesman wrote, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.”
“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police.”
