In the video, the family of the groom were seen spraying the naira in contravention of Nigerian laws.
The commission also clarified that contrary to media reports that the video was from the wedding of Senator Danjuma Goje’s daughter, it was from the Nigerien groom’s wedding held in Kano state.
“The bridegroom, Ibrahim Mohammad hails from Niger Republic and those that allegedly sprayed naira notes and dollar bills were from the groom’s family in Niger Republic.
“The Commission has invited the Nigerien groom, Mohammad, to report at its national headquarters in Abuja, with everyone that sprayed naira notes at his wedding with Zannah.
“While the EFCC appreciates the consciousness its campaigns against naira abuse is building across the country, it will not move against anyone wrongly accused of an alleged crime.
“The Commission remains steadfast in this crusade and would spare no offender, no matter how highly placed,” a statement by the commission read.
