The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested popular TikTok influencer Murja Ibrahim Kunya in Kano for allegedly mishandling the Nigerian currency, the naira.
A source from the anti-corruption agency confirmed her arrest to Kano-based Freedom Radio over the weekend.
DailyTrust reports that the source was quoted as saying;
“The investigation is ongoing, and once completed, she will be charged in court for prosecution”
Murja Kunya, who started social media as a hobby, has now made it her full-time career. Her TikTok account, Yagayagamen, has gained a lot of attention, though her content has often been controversial, leading to multiple legal issues in Kano State.
Her arrest is part of a growing crackdown, as the EFCC has also detained other TikTok influencers, including Al’amin G-Fresh and Ashir Idris, for similar offenses.
