EFCC Arrests Controversial Kano TikToker Murja Kunya Over Alleged Naira Abuse

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested popular TikToker, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, for allegedly abusing the Naira currency in Kano.

A source from the EFCC confirmed that Kunya, widely known on TikTok under the username ‘Yagayagamen,’ was apprehended on Saturday in Kano State as part of an ongoing investigation.

“The investigation is ongoing, and upon completion, she will be charged to court for prosecution,” the source stated.

Murja has become one of the most controversial TikTok influencers in Kano State, often finding herself in legal troubles. This is not her first encounter with the law. In February 2023, the Kano State Hisbah Board detained her for allegedly engaging in immoral activities and corrupting public morals through her social media content. She was later charged in a Shari’a court, where she pleaded not guilty. After her release from detention, Murja briefly left the state and kept a low profile.

The EFCC’s latest action against her stems from an alleged violation related to the misuse of the Naira currency, with the investigation still ongoing.
