Operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended a social media content creator, Muhammed Kabir Sa’ad, over allegations of abusing Nigeria’s national currency.
Sa’ad, known online by the handle @youngcee0066 on TikTok and Instagram, sparked outrage after he shared a video in which he was seen recklessly throwing Naira notes on the floor, stepping on them, and taunting anti-corruption officials.
In the video, he boldly challenged EFCC operatives in Hausa, daring them to “arrest him if they can.”
The provocative act, widely circulated on social media, drew the attention of the EFCC, prompting an investigation.
Acting swiftly, operatives located and arrested Sa’ad in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna State through intelligence surveillance.
He was taken into custody and is currently being interrogated at the Commission’s Kaduna Zonal Directorate.
A statement released by the EFCC confirmed that Sa’ad will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
His actions, the agency said, contravene existing laws against the abuse of the Naira.
The EFCC has consistently warned against the mishandling and abuse of the Naira, stressing that such acts undermine national pride and economic integrity.
