The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), according to actor Seun Jimoh, are using celebrities people as scapegoats in its effort to improve the country’s naira usage.
He accused the anti-graft agency of “scapegoating” celebrities in its ongoing clampdown on Naira abusers.
His reaction is coming after popular barman, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest was arraigned for Naira abuse days after crossdresser, Bobrisky was sent to prison for a similar offence.
Jimoh 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.”
On his Instagram page, he 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 been caught on video spraying money between the time the law has been in effect till now being 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.”
