According to the invitation, the Okoya brothers were to report to the head operational team of the anti-graft agency at the 15A Awolowo Road office at 10 am on Monday, January 13.
The Cable reported that the sons of the billionaires have been in the news recently for abusing the naira while making a promotional video for a new song.
The Nigeria Police Force has detained a yet-to-be-named officer seen in the viral video with the sons of the billionaire businessman abusing the naira.
Why police detained officers in viral video
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson of Nigeria's police force, announced the officer's arrest on his social media handle on Friday, January 10.
According to Adejobi, the actions of the police officer, as captured in the viral video, were unethical and contrary to the force's values. He revealed that the police force was taking disciplinary action to sanction the misconduct. In the video, the officer was seen holding the stacks of currency.
The act violates Section 21(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, 2007, which prohibits the abuse of the national currency.
Naira Abuse: VeryDarkMan speaks about Okoya's sons
Also, social media critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman or VDM, has aired his opinion about the viral video that saw people criticising the billionaire sons for spraying the naira notes.
VDM, who recently reacted to Raheem Okoya's apology, in a more recent video, called out prominent figures like Seun Kuti, Omoyele Sowore, Femi Falana, Mr Macaroni and Deji Adeyanju, known for speaking against social injustice, for keeping mute on the case.
The critic suggested the social activists kept mute because the Okoyas were Yorubas, adding that no police officer in the country dared touch Okoya's son as they could end up losing their jobs.
The critic, who insisted that the billionaire son face the law for his actions, stated he was watching how the case would end.
