Popular Nigerian singer, Babatunde Peter Olaitan, better known as Tee Dollar, and Tobilola Olamide, aka Tobi Nation, have been sentenced to six months in prison for naira abuse by a court.

This followed their arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of naira abuse and mutilation.

In a post by the anti-graft commission, details of the offences committed by the two celebrities were outlined. According to the post, both individuals were jailed by Justice Alexander Owoeye of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi.

The EFCC claimed that Tee Dollar tampered with N200 denomination notes issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria. This came after he was seen spraying the naira notes, which, according to the EFCC, violated Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.

Tobi Nation’s charge surfaces

The post also pointed out that Tobi Nation abused the naira while dancing at an event. It was reported that he tampered with the naira notes, which is punishable under Section 21(1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.

The report also stated that both celebrities pleaded guilty to the charges against them, and Justice Owoeye sentenced them to six months in prison with an option of a fine of N200,000 each.

Celebrities accused of naira abuse

Recall that other celebrities, including E-Money, Cubana Chiefpriest, Bobrisky, and others, have been invited by the anti-graft commission in the past for naira abuse and mutilation.

Some of them served their jail terms, while others were allowed to pay a fine before being released. Others have been warned against future occurrences.
