Popular comedian and actor, AY (Ayo Makun) has broken his silence on his recent invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged abuse of the naira.

AY took to his Instagram page on Wednesday and wrote:

“I am grateful to God for His mercy and guidance. On Monday, I was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding an incident involving the public spraying of both local and foreign currencies, an act that has been classified as an offence related to the abuse of the Naira.”

“I want to sincerely thank the EFCC and all authorities involved for their understanding and for granting me pardon based on confirmation that the money being sprayed is not linked to the proceeds of crime or any form of illicit funds.”

“It is important to understand that mutilating or abusing the Naira whether by spraying, tearing, defacing, or mishandling is not just a cultural practice but also a violation of Nigerian law. Such acts undermine the integrity of our national currency and can have serious legal consequences.”
