Vanguard reported that the incident, captured on video, went viral on social media, prompting the EFCC's attention.
Acting on this information, EFCC operatives quickly detained Emmanuel for questioning.
She admitted to the offence, attributing her actions to excitement and recklessness.
He said:
"Upon arrest, the suspect was shown the video where she was dancing at G-Connect , Tumfure, Gombe State and spraying Naira notes of N1000 denomination. She admitted committing the crime."
She will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
The EFCC emphasised its ongoing campaign against currency abuse, which violates the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act.
The agency warned that such actions which devalue the Naira will not be tolerated. Emmanuel will face charges in court once investigations are complete, with potential penalties including fines, imprisonment, or both.
