“Making money cakes, bouquets, is a criminal offense” – Stan Alieke warns

Nigerian attorney Stan Alieke has issued a caution regarding the creation of money cakes or bouquets, emphasizing that such actions constitute a criminal offense subject to legal penalties.

He conveyed this warning in a statement shared on his Instagram story on Friday, coinciding with the approach of Valentine’s Day celebrations in Nigeria.

Alieke highlighted that the offense carries a minimum imprisonment term of six months and encouraged Nigerians to seek alternative methods to demonstrate affection to their partners on this occasion.

He further noted that lack of awareness regarding the law does not serve as a valid defense.

He wrote, “Making of money cakes, money flowers or money bouquets are all criminal offences punishable with at least six months jail term as provided in S 21 of the CBN act 2007.

So if you have a money cake/money bouquet as one of the Valentine gifts you intend to gift your partner today, know that you may land yourself in jail and ignorance of the law is not an excuse.”
