Actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo has publicly addressed her recent interaction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding the spraying of money at her daughter’s wedding.
In a detailed Instagram post, Ojo confirmed she was invited by the EFCC and visited their office on May 5, 2025, following her return from the UK.
She said she received numerous calls and messages from concerned individuals inquiring about the invitation and her well-being, prompting her to share her experience.
During the EFCC visit, Ojo said she was questioned about her personal details, career, work experience, and businesses.
The Commission presented videos from her daughter’s wedding, showing guests, including colleagues and friends, spraying naira and foreign currencies.
According to her, the EFCC clarified that spraying any currency, including foreign ones like dollars, is prohibited in Nigeria.
After the questioning, Ojo was allowed to leave, with her lawyer, O.I. Salami, standing in for her in case further inquiries arise.
Ojo used the opportunity to advise Nigerians against spraying money at events to avoid EFCC scrutiny, suggesting a reconsideration of the cultural practice.
She emphasised the need for caution to prevent legal issues.
