The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared that ex-militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has questions to answer over an alleged naira abuse.

In a post shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, the anti-corruption agency emphasized that the law applies to everyone, stating: “Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!”

The post included an image reportedly showing the naira being misused.

Controversy arose after a video surfaced online on Sunday, posted by user Harrison A, who tweets as #harreceipts.

The clip, which quickly went viral, was captioned: “EFCC, see Tompolo and the Naira o.”

The footage, said to be from Tompolo’s 54th birthday celebration in April, shows him dancing while another man sprays ₦1,000 notes in his direction—a practice the EFCC has previously condemned as naira mutilation.

The EFCC has previously acted against other high-profile figures for similar offenses.

Lagos socialite Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money, was arrested for allegedly spraying both naira and U.S. dollars.

More recently, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and comedian Ayo Makun (AY) were also invited for questioning over currency-related allegations.
