The heat is on in Nigeria’s entertainment scene as afro-fusion artist Terry Apala finds himself in the middle of a legal storm. The Champagne Shower crooner has officially been remanded in EFCC custody over allegations of Naira mutilation—a charge that continues to raise eyebrows nationwide. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
This comes shortly after Apala publicly warned controversial social critic VeryDarkMan, demanding he take down a video that accused the singer and DJ Tunez (known for his affiliation with Wizkid) of being arrested and paying off their way out.
But it looks like where there was smoke, there was fire.
An image recently surfaced online showing Terry Apala holding an EFCC charge board, confirming that he’s not just being trolled—he’s officially facing prosecution.
Social media hasn’t stayed quiet, of course. Netizens are having a field day, and the opinions are as wild as they are divided.
Blaise Tony: “Dem dey mutilate Naira too? Nothing person no go see for this country.”
Mr Flow: “Okoya’s sons are bigger than EFCC.”
Katty Vera: “You no gree press money na.”
Chuks Dibia: “Spraying Naira is jail-worthy, but looting it isn’t. Welcome to Nigeria.”
As this story develops, one thing remains clear: the war on Naira abuse seems selective—and Nigerians are watching closely.
