Targeted establishments include hotels, schools, real estate companies, and other entities that engage in dollar transactions.

While acknowledging that foreigners transacting through credit cards and dollars pose no issue, the EFCC unequivocally opposes charging local customers in foreign currencies.

The Anti-graft Agency deemed such practices contrary to Nigeria’s constitution, adding that it has already arrested some defaulters.
