Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has cleared Mrs. Fauziya Danjuma Goje, daughter of Senator Danjuma Goje, of allegations of naira abuse at her wedding.

A viral video showed the naira being freely sprayed at a wedding ceremony in Kano on October 24, 2024, leading to widespread accusations against Goje’s daughter.

According to the Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Mr Dele Oyewale, the commission investigation revealed that the alleged naira abuse actually occurred at the wedding dinner of Amina Babagana Zannah, daughter of Hajara Seidu Haruna, CEO of Hafsat Jewellery Enterprise.

Haruna confirmed the incident, stating that the naira abuse took place at her daughter’s wedding dinner, and those responsible were from the groom’s family in Niger Republic.

The EFCC has invited the Nigerien groom, Ibrahim Mohammad, and those who sprayed naira notes to report to its national headquarters in Abuja.

The commission remains committed to its crusade against currency mutilation and dollarization of the economy, and will not hesitate to prosecute offenders, regardless of their status.

They emphasized the commission’s appreciation for the growing awareness of its campaigns against naira abuse, while reassuring that it will not act against anyone wrongly accused.
