Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, 17 March 2025, arrested Kelly Okungbowa, also known as Ebo Stone, for alleged naira abuse.

Okungbowa, who was until recently the coordinator of the Edo State Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) — now suspended by the state government — was arrested following a viral video in which he was seen spraying and mutilating the naira at a bar on 9 March 2025.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said he would be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.
