EFCC Arrests TikTok User for Abusing Naira in Viral Video

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested social media influencer Muhammed Kabir Sa’ad for allegedly abusing the Nigerian currency in a video shared online.

In a statement posted on Monday via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the EFCC said Sa’ad was taken into custody by operatives of its Kaduna Zonal Directorate following the circulation of a controversial video on his TikTok and Instagram accounts (@youngcee0066).

In the video, Sa’ad was seen throwing naira notes on the ground, stepping on them, and challenging EFCC officials—speaking in Hausa—to arrest him if they could.

He was tracked down in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna State and brought in for questioning at the Commission’s local office.

The EFCC confirmed that Sa’ad will be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
