E Money Arrest- 3 Other Nigerian Celebs Arrested Over Abuse of Naira

E Money Arrest
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In another clampdown on celebrities over the abuse of the Naira, the Nigerian anti-graft body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested socialite and billionaire businessman, E-Money, whose real name is Emeka Okonkwo. 

The arrest was confirmed by social media activist, VeryDarkMan, who claimed that yesterday, April 28, about 50 men of the EFCC stormed the residence of E-money, where they picked him.

According to VeryDarkMan, the arrest came after E-Money was captured on camera spraying Pounds on Afrobeat singer, Flavor, during the birthday of serial entrepreneur, Obi Cubana. While spraying pounds is not a crime in the country, it is alleged that while doing so, E-Money stepped on naira notes, an act which the anticorruption body described as an offence; “Naira mutilation.

While calling on the EFCC to free E-Money, he accused the body of being very corrupt and tribalistic. He stated that the action of the body is making him to now start believing that the body has something against the Igbos. His assertion comes after the EFCC turned a blind eye to the same offence allegedly committed by the children of Yoruba billionaire, Okowa.

As Nigerians continue to weigh in on the arrest and the EFCC is yet to release an official statement, here is a look at 5 celebrities who have been arrested for abusing the Naira:

1 Bobrisky (Idris Okuneye)

One of the first Nigerians to be arrested on allegations of Naira mutilation is cross-dresser, Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye. He was picked up by the EFCC in April 2024 for spraying the country’s currency notes at a social event. The cross-dresser was sentenced to six months behind bars for the crime.

2. Terry Okpala (Terry Alexander Ejeh)

Another celebrity arrested for the same offence is musician Terry Akpala, who was arrested and arraigned by the anti-corruption body in April 2025. The Nigerian hip hop star was charged with committing “an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.” His case is currently before the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

3. Cubana Chief Priest (Pascal Okechukwu)

Businessman, socialite, and musician, Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, was also arrested by the EFCC on allegations of abuse of Naira. He was arrested in April 2024 after he was accused of spraying and tampering with the country’s currency at a social event. The case was settled out of court after Cubana Chief Priest agreed to forfeit ten million naira to the Nigerian government.
