Shatta Bandle, a popular figure, appeared to have encountered issues with EFCC due to his public flaunting of the Nigerian currency while in Nigeria.
Shatta Bandle, who attended the funeral of Nollywood actor John Okafor, also known as Mr. Ibu, was spotted enjoying himself at another gathering.
A viral video of the small-sized star showering Naira at a gathering grabbed the attention of authorities.
The Ghanaian star has, however, apologized in a video to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the people of Nigeria for squandering the Naira; similar behavior resulted in the arrest of crossdresser Bobrisky.
Shatta Bandle, who is now back in Ghana, described the rationale for his actions, stating that he began by spraying cash but then converted to Naira after he ran out of US currency, resulting in a breach of Nigerian law.
He further stated that he respects the EFCC and Nigerian laws, referring to Nigeria as his second home.
