During his performance, an excited woman dressed in APC attire moved close to Rarara and sprayed about three notes in the presence of President Tinubu, but was immediately cautioned.

This comes despite ongoing campaigns against the mishandling of the naira.

As reported by The Punch, the incident, which was captured in a viral video, highlighted the enduring culture of flaunting cash at social events.

Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act makes such acts illegal, with violators subject to legal penalties.

Money spraying, stepping on, or using naira notes as props at celebrations is prohibited under Nigerian law.

Nigerians react as APC supporters spray naira

@daylee_leevin

They passed a law against spraying naira, and ordinary Nigerians have been arrested for it. Now it happens openly in front of the president, and nobody questions. Same law, different treatment. Is justice only for those without access to power?

@quidbuddy

EFCC is on strike. They will call off the strike soon, and an investigation will commence to validate the video if it was real or AI-generated.

@Aslim_ceo

@officialEFCC pls investigate a video circulating online showing a woman spraying naira notes during a performance by Rarara for the President yesterday in Adamawa State. Spraying or abusing the naira is against the law. Enforcement should be fair and consistent, regardless
