Ghanaian social media personality Firdaus Iddrisu, popularly known as Shatta Bandle, has issued an apology to the Nigerian public and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following an incident where he was seen spraying Naira notes in Lagos.
Shatta Bandle was captured in a viral video spraying Naira notes during his recent visit to Nigeria for Mr. Ibu’s funeral on June 28.
Nigeria has strict regulations against currency abuse, and Shatta Bandle’s actions have garnered significant attention due to these stringent laws.
Earlier this year, the EFCC arrested Nigerian celebrity Bobrisky for spraying cash at a movie premiere, accusing him of currency mutilation and abuse.
Shatta Bandle has since apologized for his actions, stating that he did not intend to violate any Nigerian laws.
He explained that he initially sprayed dollars but switched to Naira when the dollars ran out, which resulted in the violation.
He stated that he respects the EFCC and Nigerian laws, referring to Nigeria as his second home.
“I apologise to you people; I didn’t come to break laws because Nigeria is my next home. I apologise to everybody especially EFCC to forgive me for what I have done,” he stated.
