Nigerian group is seeking the prosecution of former president Olusegun Obasanjo for “spraying currency on dancers” at his 70th birthday party, local media said Tuesday.
The Nation newspaper said the Human and Environmental Development Agenda has written to Nigeria’s attorney general accusing Obasanjo of violating a 2007 law banning the abuse of the naira, which was signed by him while in power.
The group said the offending incident took place at a party last month during his 70th birthday in Abeokuta, his country home.
“We hereby request the enforcement of this law by your office through the arrest and prosecution of Chief Obasanjo without further delay,” it added.
