A Federal High Court in Kaduna State has convicted and sentenced a content creator, Muhammad Kabir, for abusing and mutilating the Naira in a video shared on social media.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) revealed this in a statement on Thursday, saying Kabir was arrested on May 13, 2025, in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna State.
According to the commission, Kabir, identified on TikTok and Instagram as @youngcee0066, was shown in a video spraying Naira notes on the floor, treading on them, and making provocative Hausa remarks while daring the EFCC to apprehend him at his known location.
The charge read: “That you, Muhammad Kabir Sa’ad (youngcee0066)(M), sometime in 2025 at Kaduna, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did unlawfully mutilate Naira by stepping on the Naira banknotes while making a social media video and posting same on the internet and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 21(3) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, punishable under Section 21(1) of the same Act.”
After Kabir pleaded guilty to the charge, the prosecution lawyer, M.U. Gadaka, urged the court to condemn and sentence him appropriately.
Justice Aikawa sentenced Kabir to six months in prison or a ₦300,000 fine payable to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
