Raheem Okoya, the son of billionaire businessman Razaq Okoya, has issued a public apology for his involvement in a viral video that showed him and his brother, Wahab abusing naira notes.
The video sparked widespread criticism and led to the detention of a police officer who appeared in the clip.
Raheem in an X (formally Twitter) post on Friday, claimed that his intentions were pure and naive, saying that he didn’t mean to cause any harm or trouble.
He asked for forgiveness and support, stating he wasn’t aware of the consequences of his actions.
He wrote, “To the Nigerian people, my actions were not to cause any trouble or harm. My intentions were pure and naive. I ask for your forgiveness and support in this situation, as I had no intention to raise such an alarm. I wasn’t fully aware of the consequences of my action.”
The Nigeria Police Force has condemned the officer’s involvement in the video, calling it unethical.
The officer has been detained for disciplinary action, Dailyeconomy reports.
