Nigerians Demand Equal Punishment for Okoya’s Sons Over Naira Abuse

The recent viral video showing Subomi and Wahab, the sons of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya, spraying and abusing naira notes has sparked widespread outrage among Nigerians. Many are now calling for the Okoya brothers to face the same punishment as popular crossdresser Bobrisky, who was arrested and charged for defacing naira notes.

Background of the Controversy

The controversy began when a video surfaced online showing the Okoya brothers at a party, spraying and abusing naira notes. The video sparked anger among many Nigerians, who felt that the brothers’ actions were disrespectful to the national currency.

EFCC Invitation

In response to the public outcry, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited Subomi and Wahab for interrogation over the alleged naira abuse. The EFCC has not announced any charges or punishments yet, but many Nigerians are demanding that the Okoya brothers face the same consequences as Bobrisky.

Public Reaction

Many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter. Some have called for the Okoya brothers to face jail time, just like Bobrisky. Others have argued that the brothers’ actions were not only disrespectful but also a slap in the face to millions of Nigerians who struggle to make ends meet.

“What is good for Bobrisky is good for Okoya,” one social media user wrote. “If Bobrisky can be arrested and charged for defacing naira notes, then the Okoya brothers should face the same punishment.”

Analysts Weigh In

Some analysts have argued that the Okoya brothers’ actions were not only a breach of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) guidelines on the handling of naira notes but also a reflection of the country’s deeper societal issues.

“The fact that the Okoya brothers felt comfortable enough to spray and abuse naira notes in public speaks to a larger issue of entitlement and disrespect for the rule of law,” one analyst said.

As the EFCC continues its investigation into the Okoya brothers’ alleged naira abuse, many Nigerians are watching closely to see if they will face the same punishment as Bobrisky. While the outcome is still unclear, one thing is certain: the controversy has sparked a national conversation about respect for the national currency and the need for accountability among the country’s elite.
