Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has spoken about her encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a post shared on her Instagram page on Tuesday, May 6, the actress revealed that she was invited by the anti-graft commission following her daughter’s wedding.
Ojo whose daughter Priscilla recently got married to her Tanzanian musician lover Juma Jux, revealed she was invited by the EFCC while she was in the United Kingdom.
She added that she honoured the invitation and appeared before the commission on Monday, May 5, 2025, where she was quizzed on some details, including her daughter’s recently concluded wedding ceremony.
The post which Ojo shared alongside a picture read, “I recently had an experience with the EFCC in Nigeria after receiving an invitation letter while I was in the UK. Upon my return, I visited the EFCC on the 5th day of May 2025, where I was asked several questions relating to my personal bio data, career, work experience, and companies, amongst others.”
Furthermore, she stated that the officials showed her a video extracted from her recently concluded daughter’s wedding where guests were spraying naira and foreign currencies.
“The EFCC officials showed me videos extracted from my daughter’s wedding where guests, including colleagues and friends, were spraying naira and foreign currencies.
“I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I thought only abuse or mutilation of the naira was an offense.”
Ojo said she was surprised to hear that spraying of foreign currency was also illegal and advised Nigerians to stop spraying and mutilating the naira.
“The EFCC officials clarified that spraying money, including on people’s bodies, is prohibited. I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including Dollars, is also not allowed.
“Given this experience, I strongly advise against spraying any currency in Nigeria to avoid issues with the EFCC.”
It would be recalled that Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla, got married in a lavish ceremony last month.
