 Alleged Naira Abuse at Senator Goje’s Daughter Wedding: Setting the Records Straight


The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a viral video where the nation’s currency, Naira, was freely sprayed at a wedding ceremony in Kano, Kano State on Friday, October 24, 2024.


Allegations of the abuse of the Naira were imputed to Mrs Fauziya Danjuma Goje, daughter of SenatorDanjuma Goje, by Nigerians from all walks of life, including an Editorial by a leading and respected National Newspaper.  


As a responsible and accountable anti-corruption agency campaigning against currency mutilation and dollarization of the economy, the EFCC swung into action by analysing the video and findings showed that the alleged naira abuse actually happened but not at the wedding of Goje’s daughter but at the wedding dinner of Amina Babagana Zannah held on the afore-mentioned date.


Zannah is the daughter of Hajara Seidu Haruna (a.ka. Hafsat Gold Nigeria) who is the Chief Executive Officer of Hafsat Jewellery Enterprise with offices in Abuja, Kano and Dubai (United Arab Emirate).


Haruna confirmed the viral video.  She admitted that the alleged naira abuse took place at the wedding dinner of her daughter on October 24, 2024.  The bridegroom, Ibrahim Mohammad hails from Niger Republic and those that allegedly sprayed naira notes and dollar bills were from the groom’s family in Niger Republic.


The Commission has invited the Nigerien groom, Mohammad, to report at its national headquarters in Abuja, with everyone that sprayed naira notes at his wedding with Zannah.


While the EFCC appreciates the consciousness its campaigns against naira abuse is building across the country,  it will not move against anyone wrongly accused of  an alleged crime.   The Commission remains steadfast in this crusade and would spare no offender, no matter how highly placed.
