A Lagos court has jailed a Nigerian actress Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin for trampling on the recently designed naira notes.
The actress’ detention in Kirikiri is pending the determination of her bail application following a case filed against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
On Monday, February 13, the anti-graft agency filed two charges against Omoseyin for allegedly spraying and trampling on the newly designed naira notes.

However, Omoseyin pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The agency’s legal representative asked the court for a trial date and prayed that the defendant be remanded in the appropriate correctional facility.
The judge then remanded the defendant to Kirikiri correctional facility pending a bail application set for February 15.
