Human rights advocate Barrister Anthony Kelechi Agbasiere has called on the EFCC to focus its efforts on investigating banks and individuals involved in the sale and theft of the naira, rather than expending energy on individuals who engage in spraying money, as was the case with the controversial cross-dresser Idris Olanrewaju Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky.
Bobrisky is currently serving a six-month prison sentence without the option of a fine for abusing the Nigerian currency, the naira. Agbasiere noted that there is nothing wrong with spraying money when one is in a happy mood.
Agbasiere made this call over the weekend in Awka during the birthday celebration of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Pool King Estate Nigeria, Hon. Gabriel Chukwunwendu.
