The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the invitation of two children of the billionaire businessman, Chief Razaq Okoya, for questioning over alleged naira abuse.

The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Dele Oyewale confirmed the news to journalists on Saturday in Abuja.

He said: “Yes, they have been invited; the two children, Wahab and Raheem Okoya are expected to report to the commission’s Lagos office for questioning on Monday.

“They are to report to the Head, Special Operations Team, at the 15A Awolowo Road Office of the commission by 10:00 a.m. on Monday.”

The siblings were seen in a video flaunting and spraying bundles of N1,000 notes in a promotional clip for Raheem’s new song titled: “Credit Alert.”

The duo, dressed in traditional white attires, danced while a mobile policeman held stacks of crisp naira notes which they flung into the air.

The act perceived by many as disregard for the law sparked backlash on social media with some Nigerians expressing doubts about the Federal Government’s readiness to check the abuse of the country’s currency.
