EFCC Arrests TikTok Star Murja Kunya Over Alleged Misuse of Naira

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken popular TikTok personality, Murja Ibrahim Kunya, into custody in Kano over allegations of naira abuse.

A source within the anti-graft agency confirmed her arrest to Kano-based Freedom Radio over the weekend.

According to Daily Trust, the source stated:

“The investigation is ongoing, and once completed, she will be charged in court for prosecution”

Murja Kunya, who initially started social media as a hobby, has since built it into a full-time career. Her TikTok account, Yagayagamen, has gained widespread attention, though her content has frequently stirred controversy, leading to multiple convictions in Kano State.

Her arrest follows a growing trend, as the EFCC has also taken other TikTok influencers, including Al’amin G-Fresh and Ashir Idris, into custody on similar charges.
