A police officer, yet to be named, seen in a viral video with Wahab and Raheem Okoya, the sons of billionaire businessman Chief Razaq Okoya, has been detained by the Nigeria Police Force for engaging in naira abuse.
This was confirmed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on his X handle on Friday.

Adejobi condemned the officer’s behavior in the video, describing it as unethical and contrary to the core values of the police force.
He emphasized that disciplinary measures are already being taken to address the misconduct.
The video, which surfaced last week, showed the Okoya brothers, dressed in white agbada outfits, flaunting stacks of crisp N1000 notes while promoting Raheem’s new song “Credit Alert.”
The footage quickly went viral and attracted widespread criticism, with many questioning whether any consequences would follow, given the Okoya family’s prominent status in Nigeria.
In the video, the police officer, a mobile policeman, was seen holding bundles of N1000 notes while the two sons of the billionaire danced and threw the money into the air.
Adejobi wrote, “The policeman captured in the recent viral video shared by the sons of the Lagos businessman, Chief Okoya, where they were abusing the naira, has been identified and detained for disciplinary action.
“The involvement of the policeman has been condemned, as it’s unethical. We will always strive hard to uphold the sanctity, credibility, and core values of the police. Thanks.”
