Oluwadarasimi Omoseyin, a Nollywood actress accused with alleged tampering and spraying of the new Naira notes, was granted N5 million bail by a Federal High Court in Lagos State on Wednesday.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recommended two counts of charges against Omoseyin, who was arraigned before Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke on Monday.
The charge was preoccupied with spraying and treading on newly designed naira notes.
The defendant, 31, was accused of tampering with N100,000 new notes by spraying and treading on them during an event in Lagos’s Lekki neighborhood.
She, on the other hand, pled not guilty to the accusation.
Justice Aneke allowed the defendant to bail and one surety in the same amount in his judgment on Wednesday.
The court ruled that the surety must be a public worker and have landed property within the jurisdiction of the court.
In addition, the surety must provide three years of tax clearance.
In addition, the defendant was ordered to leave her foreign passport with the registrar of the court.
He postponed the trial until April 3.
According to the charge, the defendant was alleged to have committed the offence on Jan. 28 at the monarch event centre in Lekki.
The Prosecutor, Mr S.I Sulaiman alleged that the defendant engaged in spraying and trampling on the newly designed naira notes while dancing at an occasion.
The offence contravenes the provisions of section 21 (1) of the Central Bank Act, 2007.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the defendant was arrested after a video of her spraying and stepping on the new notes at a party went viral.
