Human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has decried that in Nigeria, bribes are now paid in dollars.
Falana made this known on Sunday, while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
The senior lawyer also called for an end to dollarisation, stressing that it is a criminal offence to reject the Nigerian currency, naira.
“The president was announcing gifts to footballers in dollars, not naira. It has to stop. We must promote the naira, not the dollar.
“As a matter of fact, it is a criminal offence to reject the naira. We need to stop paying fees and buying properties in dollars,” he stated.
