Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested popular businessman, Emeka Okonkwo Daniel otherwise known as E-Money over allegations of naira abuse and defacement of foreign currencies.
The socialite was arrested at his Omole, Lagos residence in the late hours of Monday, April 28, 2025.
His arrest followed an alleged spraying of American dollars against the Foreign Exchange Act.
An EFCC insider revealed that preliminary investigations are ongoing, and he will be charged to court as soon as the probe is concluded.
When contacted, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, declined to comment on the matter.
However, sources within the commission disclosed that the socialite is being flown to Abuja to face further interrogation.
The socialite’s arrest comes a few days after Terry Apala, the singer, was remanded at the Ikoyi correctional centre over alleged abuse of naira notes.
In March, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, a TikToker, was rearrested in Kano for allegedly abusing the naira.
