Popular Yoruba actor, Seun Jimoh has called out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for “scapegoating” celebrities in its ongoing clampdown on Naira abusers.
The thespian was reacting to the news that the anti-graft agency arraigned popular socialite, Cubana Chief Priest 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 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.”
Seun Jimoh whose real name is Seun Sean Jimoh is a Nigerian born American based Nollywood actor, movie producer and Instagram Influencer.
Seun Jimoh started his acting career in 2007 with his first supporting role as an actor on the Nigeria Yoruba soap opera “Kilanta”, a family television sitcom showing on Africa Magic Yoruba, and Super Story, a family television drama series.
