Nigerian comedian Ayo ‘AY’ Makun has confirmed that he was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) earlier this week regarding the public spraying of local and foreign currencies.
AY shared videos on Instagram showing the incident that led to the EFCC’s invitation.
In his post, he also urged Nigerians to show respect for the Naira and foreign currencies by handling money responsibly during events.
“I am grateful to God for His mercy and guidance. On Monday, I was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding an incident involving the public spraying of both local and foreign currencies an act that has been classified as an offense related to the abuse of the Naira,” AY wrote.
“I want to sincerely thank the EFCC and all authorities involved for their understanding and for granting me pardon based on confirmation that the money being sprayed is not linked to the proceeds of crime or any form of illicit funds.
He added: “To my friends, family, and the general public: We all know that spraying money at public events is a practice common in Nigerian celebrations, especially during weddings, funerals, and parties. It is generally considered a cultural tradition rather than a criminal act. But let me attach some slides to this post on the DOS AND DON’T.
“It is important to understand that mutilating or abusing the Naira whether by spraying, tearing, defacing, or mishandling—is not just a cultural practice but also a violation of Nigerian law. Such acts undermine the integrity of our national currency and can have serious legal consequences.”
