The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has sparked intense debate on social media after announcing plans to arraign TikToker Murja Ibrahim Kunya for allegedly abusing and mutilating the naira.
On Monday, March 17, the EFCC revealed that Kunya had been rearrested on March 16 in Kano for spraying naira notes for fun while staying at Tahir Guest Palace. The arrest has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians, with many questioning the agency’s priorities.
Social Media Uproar and Okoya Family Involvement
Critics were quick to reference an earlier viral video of billionaire Rasaq Okoya’s sons, Subomi and Wahab, seen spraying naira notes while dancing to a song promotion in January. The video, which also featured a policeman, led to the officer’s detainment, but no known action was taken against the Okoya siblings.
With Kunya’s impending court case, Nigerians are now calling out the EFCC for selective enforcement, demanding fairness in how naira abuse cases are handled. The situation continues to stir discussions across social media platforms.
