Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo opens up about her recent encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), stemming from her daughter’s wedding.
Gistreel recalls that Iyabo Ojo made headlines over her daughter Priscilla’s wedding to Juma Jux, a Tanzanian singer.
In a recent Instagram post, Iyabo Ojo revealed that she received an invitation letter from the EFCC, while in the United Kingdom,and upon her return to Nigeria, she honored the invitation.
According to Iyabo Ojo, she was shown a video of guests, industry colleagues, and friends spraying money at her daughter’s wedding, and was queried by the EFCC about her awareness of the act.
Furthermore, Iyabo Ojo stated that the EFCC clarified that spraying money on people’s bodies is prohibited and cautioned against currency spraying in Nigeria.
The post reads, “Following the recent social media publication and numerous calls and text messages from different quarters seeking to hear from me on the EFCC invitation and ascertain my welfare, I find it expedient to release this briefing.
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 biodata, career, work experience, and companies, amongst others.
The EFCC officials showed me videos extracted from my daughter’s wedding where guests, including colleagues and friends, were spraying Naira and foreign currencies.
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.
After questioning, I was allowed to leave the same day, but my personal lawyer, O.I. Salami, stood in for me as I may be called upon again.
