Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade has decided to put pleasure
aside for real talk about the mal-administration of the Nigerian
political sector.
In every country, there are bodies established
to oversee the activities of its citizens in order to ensure sanity in
the society. If we look at the Western countries, when a political
office holder is being accused of anything, he/she resigns from that
position until the issue is being resolved.
This time, the
actress is angry with the officials of the Economic and Finanacial
crimes Commission (EFCC) for neglecting their duties in investigating
both current and ex-politicians who have been accused one way or the
other.
The EFCC recently on September 24th arraigned six
fishermen Adekunle Oshingbosi; Momodu Ibrahim; Idowu Tuesday; Togbosi
Christian; Benjamin Eyinle; Anthony Medoho, and their company, Oshine
Resources Ventures Limited before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos
for allegedly fishing in unauthorized waters.
When the 2 count
charge of conspiracy and stealing was read to the men, they pleaded not
guilty and applied for bail through their counsel.
The presiding
Judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba granted them bail in the sum of N10 million
each with one surety in like sum each, who is to produce two recent
passport photographs. They were remanded at the Ikoyi prisons pending
when they meet their bail conditions.
Omotola who is not happy
with this development called on the EFCC to remind them about their
duties and go after political office holders who have embezzled the
country’s money without being probe while poor keep suffering.
The
actress, responding to her fan’s message, described the EFCC now as
‘Economic and Fishing Crime Commission’ calling on them to investigate
$9.3m from south Africa, and stop disturbing fishermen.
