After hours of questioning by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, a popular Lagos socialite, Emeka Okonkwo (a.k.a. E-Money) purportedly regained his release on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E-money had been picked on Monday night at his residence in the Omole area of Lagos and taken to the commission\u2019s office in Abuja for questioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E-Money was arrested by operatives of over alleged abuse of the Naira and defacing of foreign currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the socialite had on Tuesday evening taken to his Instagram handle, @iam_emoney1, to celebrate his release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Displaying as a king in his palace in the place, E-money wrote, \u201cNo tension, everywhere good, I see all your love and support. God bless you all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song, \u201cThank you for saving me, thank you my Lord,\u201d was played on the background of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several calls, messages to the EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale for confirmation of E-Money\u2019s release were unanswered as of time of filing this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, a fellow socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly called Cubana Chief Priest also celebrated the release of E-money on his Instagram handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Via his handle, Cubana_Chief Priest, he wrote, \u201cMy brother don fall out, To God be the glory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E-Money was earlier on Tuesday arrested for allegedly spraying United States dollars, an act said to violate the Foreign Exchange Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An EFCC source had said, \u201cOn Monday night, we arrested E-Money for Naira abuse and defacing foreign currencies. Specifically, he was alleged to have sprayed U.S. dollars, which is against the Foreign Exchange Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe was arrested at his Omole, Lagos residence. Preliminary investigations are ongoing, and he will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
