A woman identified as Janty Emmanuel has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Gombe State Command for allegedly abusing the Nigerian currency in the state.
She was arrested on Monday, May 20, 2024, following intelligence that spotted her spraying Naira notes at a social event.
EFCC Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The statement partly read, “Upon arrest, the suspect was shown the video where she was dancing at G-Connect, Tumfure, Gombe State and spraying Naira notes of N1,000 denomination.
“She admitted committing the crime. She will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
For some months now, the anti-graft agency has continued to clamp down on Nigerians who are found guilty of abusing the naira.
