Concerned Edo Youth, a civil society group has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate Kelly Okungbowa, an official of the Edo State government for abuse of the naira after a video surfaced online showing him spraying naira notes on two exotic dancers.

Okungbowa, a close ally of Governor Monday Okpebholo is the Chairman of the Edo State Asset Recovery Committee and State Coordinator of the Public Safety Response Team (PSR).

In the viral video in reference, which emerged over the weekend, he is seen tossing wads of cash as two scantily clad women dance around him, rubbing the notes on their bodies.
