Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin: Nollywood star sentenced for stepping on naira notes
A Nigerian actress has been sentenced to six months imprisonment for tampering with the currency after she was filmed spraying and stepping on newly issued naira notes last year.
Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin was arrested last February in Lagos after the video of her at a party surfaced online.
The Nollywood star was also seen flaunting wads of the money that had just been redesigned.
She changed her initial not guilty plea to guilty, the authorities said.
The Nollywood star was filmed with 100,000-naira ($83; £66) worth of notes while dancing at a friend’s wedding in Lekki, Lagos a year ago, the country’s anti-fraud agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said.
