EFCC INVITES OKOYA BROTHERS OVER NAIRA ABUSE IN VIRAL VIDEO

EFCC INVITES OKOYA’S SONS OVER ABUSE OF NAIRA IN VIRAL VIDEOS

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited Subomi and Wahab, the sons of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya, for interrogation over alleged abuse of the naira.

The Okoya brothers were in the news a few days ago after a video clip capturing them “abusing” the naira surfaced on the internet.

The police officer who was also seen in the viral video has been identified and detained by the Nigeria Police Force.

There has been outrage on social media following the delay in the arrest of the two brothers.

An activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, posted on his Facebook page on Saturday, saying:

“The Okoya sons are above the law. A country of two laws — one for the poor and the other for the rich.”

However, it was gathered on Saturday that the anti-graft agency has invited the duo to report to the head of the Special Operations team at the EFCC office on 15A Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, January 13, 2025, for questioning.

The invitation was signed by Michael Wetkas, the acting director of the Lagos Directorate of the EFCC.

    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SETS N2.5TRN REVENUE TARGET FOR FIRS

    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SETS N2.5TRN REVENUE TARGET FOR FIRS IN 2025 The national assembly joint committee on finance has set N25 trillion as revenue target for the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for the 2025 fiscal year. The committee, composed of the finance panels of the senate and house of representatives, also commended the service for raking in N21.6 trillion in 2024. Speaking during the budget defence session of the FIRS, Saidu Musa Abdullahi, deputy chair of the house committee on finance, said it commendable that the service surpassed its N19.4 trillion target last year. “It is very cheering and encouraging,” he said. “We shall give you total support on your tax reform but you need to bring in more taxable citizens into the net from the informal sector.” Sani Musa, chair of the senate committee on finance, said the service should work with the target of N25 trillion. “It is achievable and even surpassable,” Musa said. Etanabene Benedict, a member of the committee, said if the country gets its tax collection right, it might not need to borrow to fund its budgets. “If we do well on tax collections or revenue generation, we will not borrow to fund our budget,” Benedict said. “Going by the feat attained by FIRS in 2024, urge this committee to project N60 trillion tax collection or revenue generation for it in 2025.” However, the panel agreed to fix the target for the tax agency at N25 trillion.
