Man sentenced for spraying Naira notes and carelessly stepping on it while dancing in Uyo


Justice M.A.Oyetenu of the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State has convicted Etiusen Stephen for spraying Naira notes.

He was arraigned on July 19, 2024 on a two-count charge bordering on naira abuse, an offence that contravenes the provisions of Section 21 of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act.

One of the charges read: 'That you Etiusen Stephen Udo on or about 27th June 2024 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State within the jurisdiction of this Honorable court did sell Forty Thousand Naira notes (N40,000.00) Only to one Edidiong Usoro and thereby Committed an offence contrary to Section 21 (4) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007 and punishable under Section 21 (1) of the same Act'.

When the charges were read to the defendant, he pleaded 'guilty' to both counts.

In view of his plea, prosecution counsel Joshua Abolarin prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly and order a permanent forfeiture of the cash recovered from him to the Federal Government of Nigeria. However, defence counsel Udeme Tom prayed the court to give a lighter sentence stressing that the defendant was remorseful and a first-time offender.

After listening to both counsels, Justice Onyetenu convicted Etiusen, and ordered the forfeiture of the Forty Thousand Naira recovered from him to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The convict was arrested at the Shelter Afrique area of Akwa Ibom State on Thursday, June 27, 2024, alongside ten others while partying at Ken's Court Luxury Apartments. He was caught spraying Naira notes and carelessly stepping on the same while dancing.

People spray dollars and pounds abroad and no one is bothered......all these are just some ridiculous laws that has no bearing on the masses.....if a country is productive and the economy is booming,no one would bother about this nonsense.

Another reason to start looking for dollars which will increase demand every Friday.....do you know how Davido's wedding alone affected rates with the amount of dollars on display.

I remember when many nairalanders would have said,
“Is it their money? he can spend it how he likes”

Misplaced priority. Naira is worthless, spraying and stepping on it is the right thing to do

This life self, some are into skull mining while others are into money spreaying

You are very correct.

Now Nigeria's problem is solved by this judgement

Two lawyers telling lies without truly knowing what's in the mind of the client.

If not telling a lie is the only prerequisite of going to heaven then Lawyers should occupied the front seats of hell.

Who have the culture of spraying money? Do white people spray money at their weddings or parties? Who are those spraying dollars and pounds if not same third world underdeveloped countries citizens….lol they constantly beg for loans from foreign countries but yet you see their citizens displaying foolishness in the midst of hunger.

That's good. Since most Nigerians get coconut heads

How to know a shallow minded loser

Because he has made it, he uses this to console himself and makes others believe that only the illegal business pays so much money to live life as it pleases you so the reason he is where he is,is because he indulges in legitimate business which doesn't pay

Money matter goes wrong

I totally support this.
Nigerians must get sense by all means possible
