Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has revealed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited her for questioning over the spraying of money at the wedding of her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, which took place last month.

On Tuesday, the 47-year-old actress shared on Instagram that she received the EFCC letter while she was in the United Kingdom and honoured the invitation on Monday, May 5, 2025, upon her return to Nigeria.

“I recently had an experience with the EFCC in Nigeria after receiving an invitation letter while I was in the UK. Upon my return, I visited the EFCC on the 5th day of May 2025, where I was asked several questions relating to my personal bio data, career, work experience, and companies, amongst others,” she wrote.

The actress said EFCC officials showed her videos from the wedding where guests, including friends and colleagues, were seen spraying both naira and foreign currencies.

“The EFCC officials showed me videos extracted from my daughter’s wedding where guests, including colleagues and friends, were spraying Naira and foreign currencies,” she stated.

“I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I thought only abuse or mutilation of the Naira was an offense.”

Iyabo expressed surprise at learning that spraying dollars and other foreign currencies is also considered illegal in Nigeria.

“The EFCC officials clarified that spraying money, including on people’s bodies, is prohibited. I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including Dollars, is also not allowed,” she added.

“Given this experience, I strongly advise against spraying any currency in Nigeria to avoid issues with the EFCC.”

Recall that Priscilla Ojo recently tied the knot with Tanzanian singer Juma Jux in a lavish ceremony that drew attention across social media and attracted several Nigerian celebrities.
