According to Chiefpriest, famous or well-known businessmen should be especially careful because the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was not playing around.

Not stopping there, Chiefpriest declared that nothing would ever make him spray money in any currency again. He added that he’s working on another way to show off one’s wealth at parties because spraying money now is a sure way to attract the attention of the EFCC.
