The socialite was said to have allegedly sprayed naira at a public event, including the United States dollars thereby also violating Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange Act.
Mr Daniel, held at the commission’s Lagos office, is currently being flown to Abuja for questioning as investigation continues.
The EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, neither responded to calls made to his mobile nor replied to the text messages from Peoples Gazette seeking comments on the development as of the time this story was filed.
