Naira Abuse: Actor Seun Jimoh accuses EFCC of witch-hunting celebrities
Nollywood actor, Seun Jimoh blasted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged witch hunt when it comes to punishing naira abusers.
The outburst is a result of the news that the commission arraigned popular socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest for Naira abuse days after crossdresser, Bobrisky was sent to prison for a similar offense.
Jimoh insisted that the anti-graft agency is using celebrities as scapegoats in its ongoing clampdown on Naira abusers.
The actor, on his Instagram page, said it is “unfair that certain people are being selected for a crime almost 70% of Nigerians or more are guilty of with overwhelming video evidence all over the internet.”
He argued that the “scapegoat approach to cultural reforms is quite sinister and lacks any concern for the mental health of the Nigerian citizens.”
He further wrote, “It looks like scapegoats are being selected to send a message to the general populace. But then, is it not unfair that certain people are being selected for a crime almost 70% of Nigerians or more are guilty of with overwhelming video evidence all over the internet?!
“Why hasn’t anyone ever caught on video spraying money between the time the law has been in effect till now been arrested? Why celebrities? Celebrities are citizens too! This scapegoat approach to cultural reforms is quite sinister and lacks any concern for the mental health of the Nigerian citizens.”
