OPERATIVES of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested 24-year-old Iziga Jude Ikechukwu, popularly known as Easy-Money, for allegedly abusing naira notes during his birthday celebration.
Ikechukwu, a palm kernel dealer, came under scrutiny after a viral video circulated on social media showed him recording himself mishandling naira notes in a hotel room.
This act contravenes Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act of 2007.
Following the intelligence, EFCC operatives traced his identity and location, leading to his arrest on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at his residence near Timber Market, Enugu-Ezike, Enugu State. During the arrest, N81,700 suspected to be part of the money he was mutilating was recovered.
