It was further gathered that E-Money was arrested on Monday night at his residence in the Omole area of Lagos.

One of the sources said, “On Monday night, we arrested E-Money for Naira abuse and defacing foreign currencies. Specifically, he was alleged to have sprayed U.S. dollars, which is against the Foreign Exchange Act.
“He was arrested at his Omole, Lagos residence. Preliminary investigations are ongoing, and he will be charged to court, once investigations are concluded.”
Another source also stated that E-Money is currently being flown to Abuja for questioning.
The source said, “Yes, he has been arrested and is being flown to Abuja as I speak, to face investigators on the issue.”
