The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has summoned Wahab and Raheem Okoya, the sons of billionaire businessman Chief Razaq Okoya, for questioning regarding suspected naira abuse.
Raheem and Wahab are required to report to the commission’s Lagos office for questioning on Monday.
The brothers drew widespread criticism after a video emerged of them displaying and spraying bundles of N1,000 notes in a promotional clip for Raheem’s new song, “Credit Alert.”

The incident, widely seen as a defiance of the law, attracted criticism on social media, with some Nigerians expressing concerns about the lack of accountability due to their father’s influential position.

On Saturday, The Cable reported that, according to an invitation signed by Michael Wetkas, the Acting Director of the Lagos Directorate of the EFCC, the Okoya brothers were instructed to report to the Head of the Special Operations Team at the commission’s office located at 15A Awolowo Road by 10 am on Monday, January 13, 2025.
