The celebration with bank notes, known locally as "spraying", is common at Nigerian weddings and parties, but prohibited by law for damaging the national currency naira. "The act of mutilating the Naira notes has become a menace, which has continued to damage the image of the country," Justice Awogboro said, according to the EFCC statement. But the EFCC said in its statement Bobrisky had claimed to be unaware of the law against spraying and asked for a second chance. EFCC said it had based its probe on a "video of spraying and flaunting wads of new Naira notes" at a film premiere in Lagos. Nigerian actress Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin was sentenced to six months in prison in February after she was filmed spraying and stepping on banknotes.
