Comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, who goes by his stage name Basketmouth, has questioned the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, over the low chance of conviction for politically exposed persons in the country.
His comment followed the two recent protests by the youths in the Warri area of Delta State and Ibadan over unwarranted arrest and extortion by the anti-graft agency without any links to cybercrime.
Responding to the actions, Bawa noted that the protests will not stop the agency from arresting anyone causing or promoting fraud in the country.
However, Basketmouth, on his Instagram story, while commending the statement, went further to question the EFCC boss for leaving corrupt leaders who are causing economic disaster in Abuja, where the agency’s head office is situated.
He said, “Great! This is awesome news, and I support it, but what about the ones that caused economic disaster: They’re walking freely in that same Abuja. Charity begins at home, is all I’m saying.”
The comedian further shared screenshots of past news where different government personnel couldn’t account for the money in their care, yet walking freely.
The first screenshot reads: “NDDC Acting MD, Pondei shuns Reps over alleged misuse of N39b.”
The second screenshot reads: “Nigeria’s vice president says $15 billion stolen in arms procurement fraud;” and the third reads: “Nigerian snake ate millions of naira, clerk says.”
Basketmouth, however, wrote, “I suggest we build a few animal prisons, their own is too much.”
