Ghanaian social media personality Shatta Bandle has publicly apologized to Nigeria, Nigerians, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) amid reports of his abuse of the Naira note during Mr. Ibu's funeral.
In his apology, Shatta Bandle pleaded for leniency, explaining that he was unaware of the regulations prohibiting such actions and did not intend to violate any laws.
The incident, which took place recently at the funeral of popular Nigerian actor Mr. Ibu, has drawn significant attention.
Shatta Bandle's act of throwing money, a gesture common in some celebratory contexts, is reportedly under scrutiny by the EFCC, which has launched an investigation.
Shatta Bandle expressed his regret, stating, "I apologize to Nigeria, Nigerians, and the EFCC. I was not aware of the rule and did not intend to flout it." He emphasized that his actions were not premeditated and called for understanding from the authorities.
The EFCC, responsible for enforcing laws against financial crimes in Nigeria, is reportedly taking measures to address the situation. While the Commission respects the right to celebrate, it also stresses the importance of adhering to legal regulations to maintain order and security.
