Ruggedman claims the Report of his Arrest was a Smear Campaign

Although other veteran artists were tagged for arrest, only Ruggedman has denied this report. This raises the question of whether the others were truly arrested or just don’t care enough to address the alleged scandal.

Nollywood Actor Deyemi Raises Concern on EFCC Targeting Entertainers for Naira Abuse

Nollywood actor Deyemi raised concerns during an interview on Nollywood on Radio on YouTube that the EFCC is mainly targeting entertainers while more pressing cases of crime and corruption have been left unattended. This outburst was a result of the numerous times the EFCC called several entertainers for questioning and even detained the likes of Bobrisky, T-dollar, and Tobi Nation for naira abuse.

He further mentioned that if the EFCC used the efforts it used to combat naira abuse from entertainers to fight financial corruption in the country, it would earn our trust because then we would believe that it was acting in our best interest.
