NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS TO APPEAR IN COURT FOR SPRAYING AND STEPPING ON NEW NAIRA NOTES
Operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have commenced investigation of Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin, a Nollywood actress and cosmetologist, for allegedly tampering with the redesigned Naira notes, an offcence contrary to Section 21 (5) of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Act, 2007.
Omoseyin was arrested by operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Fraud Related Offences Commission (ICPC), last Wednesday, along Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, following intelligence reports.
The 31-year-old was arrested after the video of her spraying and stepping on the newly redesigned Naira notes at a party surfaced online.
In the viral video, she was also seen flaunting wads of the new Naira notes.
Omoseyin was subsequently handed over to the EFCC on Thursday for further investigation.
In a statement by the EFCC, the items recovered from her at the point of arrest include a Range Rover and iPhone mobile device.
The statement also said that the suspect will be charged to court once investigations have been concluded.
