EFCC arrests TikToker for spraying, stepping on naira notes in Kaduna

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a social media content creator, Muhammed Kabir Sa’ad, for allegedly abusing the Nigerian currency in a video posted online.

According to a statement released by the Commission on Monday via X, Sa’ad was apprehended by operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Directorate after he shared a video on his social media accounts openly daring EFCC officers to arrest him if they could.

“Sa’ad made a video of himself on his TikTok and Instagram accounts (@youngcee0066), where he was seen throwing naira notes on the floor, deliberately stepping on them, and daring EFCC officers in Hausa language to arrest him if they could.

He was subsequently picked up in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna State through surveillance and conveyed to the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Commission for interrogation,” the statement said.

The EFCC stated that Sa’ad will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
