A Federal High Court in Kano has sentenced makeup artist Abdullahi Musa Huseini (a.k.a Amuscap) to six months in prison for abusing the Naira.
Justice S.M Shuaibu convicted Huseini after he pleaded guilty to spraying and mutilating N100,000 at his wedding celebration. The offence violates Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.
Prosecution counsel Zarami Mohammed presented evidence showing Huseini defaced the currency at Ali Jita Event Centre despite warnings against the practice.
The judge ruled against an option of fine, ordering immediate imprisonment.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested Huseini following intelligence reports on his actions.
