US EditionNigeria: EFCC Arrests Social Media Content Creator for Abusing Naira
- On May 5, 2025, authorities in Kaduna State detained Muhammed Kabir Sa'ad, a content creator active on social media, following allegations that he mishandled Naira banknotes.
- The arrest followed a video circulated on TikTok and Instagram showing Sa'ad throwing and stepping on Naira notes, which violated Nigeria's laws against currency abuse.
- EFCC traced Sa'ad through intelligence surveillance and detained him at its Kaduna Zonal Directorate for interrogation pending further investigation.
- Under Nigerian law enacted in 2007, the act of spraying or mistreating Naira currency is prohibited and punishable by a minimum of six months in prison. Following his questioning, the EFCC has confirmed that Sa'ad will face charges related to this offense.
- This action reflects the EFCC's ongoing crackdown on currency abuse, as prior arrests of public figures like Bobrisky illustrate the agency's efforts to uphold economic integrity.
