Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and Juma Jux’s wedding.

Recall that on April 17 and April 19, 2025, Iyabo Ojo’s daughter got married to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux at lavish ceremonies that took place in Lagos.

The events saw lavish displays of wealth from guests who sprayed bundles of Nigerian and foreign currencies on the couple and the bride’s mum, Iyabo Ojo.

Following reports that Iyabo Ojo was apprehended by the EFCC, the movie star took to her Instagram page to issue a statement, explaining what happened.

According to the Labake Olododo star, she received an invitation letter from the EFCC while she was in the UK and upon her return, she honoured the invitation on May 5, 2025. Iyabo Ojo stated that she was questioned about her job, bio data, businesses and more.

The actress also said they asked her about the spraying that happened at her daughter, Priscy’s wedding and also showed her videos taken during the occasion.

The actress said she was asked if she knew spraying of money was illegal, and she responded that she believed naira mutilation was the illegal act. She was then cautioned about how spraying naira and dollar is illegal.

Iyabo wrote in part: “The EFCC officials clarified that spraying money, including on people's bodies, is prohibited.

I was surprised to learn that spraying any currency, including dollars, is also not allowed. "After questioning, I was allowed to leave the same day, but my personal lawyer, O.I. Salami stood in for me as I may be called upon again. Given this experience, I strongly advise against spraying any currency in Nigeria to avoid issues with the EFCC.

"Perhaps it's time to reconsider this long-standing tradition. Let's prioritize caution and avoid any potential problems.”
