Shatta Bandle apologies to EFCC
In a recently released video, the Ghanaian star apologised to Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Nigerians for abusing the naira, a similar action which landed crossdresser Bobrisky in prison.
Explaining the reason behind his actions, Shatta Bandle, who is now back in Ghana, stated that he started by spraying dollars but switched to naira when he ran out of the US currency, leading to the violation of Nigerian law.
He also spoke about his respect for the EFCC and Nigerian laws while describing Nigeria as his second home.
