A supposed video that got Emeka Okonkwo, better known as E-Money, into the net of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has emerged online.

The footage, which began trending online on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, was posted by X user @JayNaija, who claimed that the short clip was the catalyst for E-Money’s recent ordeal with the anti-graft agency.
The user captioned the post:
“This video is the reason why EFCC allegedly arrested E-Money.”
The flamboyant entrepreneur can be seen at a high-profile party, dressed in a black agbada and traditional Igbo red cap, while spraying singer Flavour with what appeared to be foreign currency.
Flavour, in return, is seen praising E-Money with live music, calling out his name with admiration as the businessman continues to rain cash on him in typical Igbo highlife style.
E-money joins several celebrities arrested by EFCC
This isn’t the first time a Nigerian celebrity or socialite has come under fire for spraying money at events.
In recent years, the EFCC has arrested and prosecuted several high-profile individuals for similar offences, citing violations of Nigeria’s money laundering laws and financial conduct regulations.
The most recent of those arrest was Afrobeats singer, Terry Apala who was paraded for alleged naira mutilation.

VDM calls out EFCC over E-money’s arrest
Meanwhile, social critic, VeryDarkMan says the EFCC is biased in arresting E money.
He criticized the anti-graft agency accusing them of cherry-picking those that would be arrested for naira spraying.
He made reference to the children of billionaire, Rasaq Okoya, who were left off the hook by the EFCC over the same offence.
