Nigerians on social media are calling for the immediate arrest of the sons of Lagos billionaire Chief Rasaq Okoya, following allegations of naira abuse in a viral video. The video, which trended on Wednesday, showed Okoya’s sons misusing the naira. While the Nigerian Police responded by identifying and detaining the officer seen in the video, they made no mention of any action taken against Okoya’s sons.

In a statement released on Friday, Police Spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi condemned the actions of the police officer involved and assured the public that disciplinary measures would be taken. However, the statement failed to address any action against Chief Okoya’s sons, leading to widespread criticism. Many Nigerians accused the police of shielding the billionaire’s sons from legal repercussions.

One social media user, Nejeeb Bello Oyarese, questioned, "What about the sons of Chief Okoya who were actually abusing the Naira? Have they been arrested and detained while charges are being put forward against them?"

Another user, IRUNNIA, pointed out, "The sons of Chief Okoya abused money and they were not punished. It was the policeman standing on his own that was punished. Omo Davido was right. In this life, have money or you go suffer."

Several other users echoed similar frustrations. Amb. Dr. Stephen O. Enike-Matthew suggested prosecuting Okoya's sons for the abuse of Naira and for mistreating the police officer, while Facebook user Ozoemena Nwatu questioned, "Hope the police have equally detained the actual culprit, I mean the sons of the businessman?"

The criticism continued on Facebook, with many questioning the police's selective approach to the incident, wondering if the Okoya sons were being protected due to their father's wealth and status. Some users called for action against the sons, asserting that the situation was an example of inequality and corruption.

The public outcry continues to grow as many await a response from the authorities regarding the sons of Chief Okoya.
