Socialite Shatta Bandle has encountered issues with the EFCC due to his public display of the naira currency during his visit to Nigeria.
Shatta Bandle attended the funeral of Nollywood actor John Okafor, also known as Mr. Ibu, and was later seen enjoying himself at another event.
A viral video showing the small-sized star showering naira notes at an event caught the attention of the authorities.
The Ghanaian celebrity has, however, issued an apology in a video to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the people of Nigeria for misusing the naira. A similar behavior previously resulted in the imprisonment of crossdresser Bobrisky.
Shatta Bandle, who is now back in Ghana, explained the reason for his actions. He mentioned that he initially began by spraying dollars but switched to naira when he ran out of the US currency, inadvertently violating Nigerian law.
He also expressed his respect for the EFCC and Nigerian laws, describing Nigeria as his second home.
