Nigerian activist Charles Oputa, known as Charly Boy, has criticized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for its arrest and arraignment of businessman Paschal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest, for Naira abuse.

Charly Boy accused the EFCC of engaging in “frivolous shenanigans” to distract Nigerians from more serious issues. He questioned why the agency was pursuing such minor offenses instead of tackling major financial crimes.

“Spraying Naira is a part of our age-long familiar culture that promotes bonding among people,” Charly Boy argued. “The three-count charge against Cubana Chief Priest makes one wonder if the EFCC has no more important tasks to perform.”

He added that the EFCC’s actions were only serving to “keep distracting poor, hungry, and hopeless Nigerians.”

“Why focus on harmless, pedestrian misbehavior instead of those who steal vast sums of money from the public with impunity?” Charly Boy asked. “God punish all of you in EFCC, may you not die a good death.”

Charly Boy’s comments have sparked a debate on social media, with many Nigerians expressing support for his stance. CONTINUE READING
