She was suspected of tampering with the newly designed naira notes, which is a violation of Section 21 (5) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007.
Her arrest came after a video of her spraying and stepping on redesigned naira notes at a party went viral.
She was also seen flaunting wads of the new naira notes in the viral video.
According to a statement by the EFCC’s Head, Media & Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, “The suspect was subsequently handed over to the EFCC on Thursday, February 2, 2023 for further investigations.”
Uwujaren said she would be charged to court “once investigations have been concluded.”
