Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has confirmed that she was recently interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged currency abuse during her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s lavish wedding ceremony.

The high-profile wedding, which took place in Nigeria on April 17, 2025, captured major attention across social media, as it saw Nigerian and foreign celebrities gather to celebrate Priscilla’s union with Tanzanian music sensation, Jux. The couple had earlier tied the knot in a private Islamic ceremony in Tanzania back in February.

Clips from the Nigerian leg of the wedding quickly went viral, showing guests openly spraying both naira and U.S. dollar bills on the couple and others at the glamorous event. The EFCC has since launched a crackdown on the abuse of both local and foreign currencies during public ceremonies, a move that has drawn public interest and criticism in recent months.

Reacting to the buzz surrounding her visit to the anti-graft agency, Iyabo Ojo took to Instagram to clear the air. In her post, she revealed that she was invited and willingly honored the EFCC’s request to appear for questioning.

“I was asked questions relating to my personal biodata, career, work experience, and my companies, amongst others,” she explained.

On the legality of spraying foreign currencies at events, Ojo admitted that she was unaware of the full extent of the law.

“I was asked if I knew this was illegal, and I explained that I only thought abuse or mutilation of naira was an offense,” she added.

“The EFCC clarified that spraying money on people’s bodies is prohibited. I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including dollars, is also not allowed.”

Her revelation has sparked fresh debates online about the cultural tradition of “money spraying” at celebrations, which has long been a staple of Nigerian parties. As the EFCC continues its enforcement campaign, more public figures may find themselves under scrutiny for similar actions.

Iyabo Ojo, for her part, appears committed to staying compliant, moving forward and educating others on what the law permits when it comes to public displays of cash.
