The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arrested popular Kano TikTok influencer, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, for allegedly abusing and mutilating the Naira.
Kunya was apprehended on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at Tahir Guest Palace in Kano after evading an earlier administrative bail granted to her in January.
She was initially arrested for allegedly spraying Naira notes in violation of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act but failed to appear in court for her scheduled arraignment.
Following weeks of surveillance, EFCC operatives successfully tracked and detained her. She is currently in custody at the Commission’s Kano Zonal Directorate, awaiting trial.
The EFCC has reiterated its commitment to upholding the integrity of Nigeria’s currency and warned against acts of abuse, including spraying and mutilation of Naira notes.
