PICTORIAL: Content Creator Faces Prosecution After EFCC Arrest Over Naira Abuse In Kaduna

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a social media content creator, Muhammed Kabir Sa’ad, for allegedly abusing Nigeria’s national currency, the Naira.

According to a statement posted on the EFCC’s official Facebook page on Monday, Sa’ad was apprehended by operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the agency after a viral video surfaced showing him trampling on Naira notes in a provocative display.

“Sa’ad made a video of himself on his TikTok and Instagram accounts @youngcee0066 where he was seen throwing Naira notes on the floor and deliberately stepping on them and daring EFCC officers in Hausa Language to arrest in him if they can,” the statement read.

The EFCC said the arrest followed surveillance and intelligence gathering, which led operatives to the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna State, where Sa’ad was taken into custody and transported to the commission’s zonal office for interrogation.

“He would be charged to court upon the conclusion of his interrogation,” the statement concluded.
