Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday March 17, 2025 arrested Kelly Okungbowa (a.k.a Ebo Stone) for alleged naira abuse.


Recall that a Benin-based socio-political organization, Concerned Edo Youths, petitioned the Commission last week, drawing its attention to a video showing the suspended Okunkbowa spraying the naira on strippers at a local beer parlour in Benin, which sparked public condemnations. 


Dele Oyewole, Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, in a press release of March 17, 2025, wrote, "Okungbowa, who until recently was the coordinator of the Edo State Public Safety Response Team , PSRT, now suspended by the State Government, was  arrested owing to a viral video where he was seen spraying and mutilating the Naira at a bar on March 9,  2025".


"He will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed", Oyewole concluded.
