Nollywood
actress, Georgina Onuoha has appealed to the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, to have mercy on Nigerian singer, Naira Marley.
Onuoha joined
other celebrities as she took to her Instagram page appealing to the court to
temper justice with mercy.
According to her
“Our society is so corrupt and sadly, the legal system works differently
depending on your social political status.”
The actress
further urged the EFCC to arrest and treat politicians that had looted the
National treasury same way as Naira Marley.
Her post read: “I
don’t know this young man. I believe everyone is presumed innocent until proven
guilty.
“I condemn any
form of crime, I condemn cyber crimes.My family have been victims of frauds and
the pain caused is always palpable.
“That being said,
I hope our young men and women will begin to do the needful by speaking up and
standing up to their elected officials and demand better governance and
accountability so we can eradicate this pandemic scam ravaging our society and
image locally and internationally.
“Please guys, the
time and talent wasted in cybercrime and other forms of crime can be used well.
“Nigerian youths deserve better from their government.
What happened in Sudan and Arab spring will come to our shores if our elected
officials and politicians don’t begin to address the hunger, poverty and
joblessness amongst Nigerian youths.
“I don’t know this young man and I pray for him that they tamper
justice with mercy. EFCC, I will be more than glad if you start arresting our
politicians who are looting our National treasury this way.
“I hope you show this same show of force to the cabals causing
untold hardship on the Nigerian citizenry. I hope you hold every criminal in
Nigeria accountable like this.
“If you use this amount of security and force on this
young man according to your policy and procedures, I hope every politician and
public office holders who steal from our treasury will be treated like this ,
so that equal justice will be served under the law.
“Our
society is so corrupt and sadly, the legal system works differently depending
on your social political status.”
