EFCC Grills E-Money for Spraying Foreign Currency

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

A popular Lagos-based socialite, Mr Emeka Daniel Okonkwo, otherwise known as E-Money, has been apprehended by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The younger brother of a well-known musician, KCee, whose real name is Mr Kingsley Okonkwo, was reportedly arrested by the agency on Monday night at his residence at Omole Estate, Lagos.

He was accused of spraying foreign currency at a public function recently, an act believed to be against the Foreign Exchange Act.

At the time of filing this report, the EFCC has not reacted to reports of E-Money’s arrest.

The organisation is said to be looking into the matter with a view to prosecuting the socialite for the alleged offence.

He was said to have been flown to Abuja for questioning and should be taken to court to face the full wrath of the law if the agency is certain that he has committed an offence.

Recall that some days ago, E-Money was at the 50th birthday of another socialite, Mr Obinna Tochuukwu Iyiegbu, otherwise known as Obi Cubana, in Abuja.

He was also spotted at the wedding ceremony of Iyabo Ojo’s daughter in Lagos.
