Two days after Nigerian actress Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin, popularly known as Simisola Gold, was arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Offenses Commission (ICPC), the EFCC has also entered the case.
The actress was arrested for allegedly selling new Naira money for profit and is now being interrogated by the EFCC for ‘spray and run’ on the new Naira notes.
The EFCC operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command started investigations into the actions of the actress.
The anti-corruption agency questioned him for allegedly tampering with the redesigned Naira notes, an offense contrary to Section 21 (5) of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Act, 2007.

The 31-year-old actress and cosmetologist was arrested after a video of her spraying and inserting a newly redesigned Naira note at a party surfaced online.
In the viral video, he was also seen burning the new Naira notes. He was later handed over to the EFCC on Thursday for further investigation.
Items recovered from him during his arrest at Awolowo Street, Ikoyi, Lagos, included a Range Rover mobile device and an iPhone.
The Agency’s Head, Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said: “he will be charged to court once the investigation is complete.”
Nigerian dig up video
While Mr. Uwujaren confirmed the anti-corruption agency was investigating him, he refused to comment on the case.
Nigerians dug up a video of the event.
In the video, he is seen splashing money on the show. Many have noticed that they are not the only ones circulating the new records and have raised some questions suggesting that there is foul play.
