Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has confirmed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently questioned her about the lavish cash display at her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
According to the actress, while in the United Kingdom, EFCC extended an official invitation to her for questioning over currency display at her daughter’s wedding.
Iyabo says upon her return to Nigeria, she reported to the EFCC headquarters on May 5, 2025, where she was questioned extensively about her personal background, professional activities, and business operations.
EFCC officials reportedly presented video evidence from the wedding, showing guests spraying both Naira and foreign currencies during the celebration.
In responding to the question, Iyabo says “I explained that I thought only abuse or mutilation of the Naira was an offense.”
But EFCC clarified to her that spraying any form of currency, whether local or foreign, is a criminal offence under Nigerian law.
Though she was released the same day, as her lawyer stood in for her, she added that she may be called upon for further questioning.
Following the encounter, the actress has warned the public against the cultural practice of spraying money at events, educating that it could lead to legal troubles.
