Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has admonished operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commissions (EFCC) to investigate religious clerics and general overseers who own private jets.

The controversial thespian made this known on his Instagram page.

He also added that it was wrong for any General Overseer who has a private jet to criticize President Buhari for “corruption.”

Here is what he published on Instagram:

”How can you feel so comfortable flying a million Dollars private jet all over #naija when 75% of your members live in serious POVERTY?

Is that also holiness? Jesus wept.

“I sincerely know this #TRUTH is bitter like #Buhari hip hop kunu, but is this also #Christianity or spiritual #Yahoo Yahoo? Which job or business empire does your G.O have to buy a private jet? #Jesus kept feeding the multitudes in the bible, why? Why did he not watch dem go hungry like our present day G.O”

The state’s Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday in Umuahia, said those targeted include public office holders, traditional rulers, and clerics.

He added that the criminals planned to hold the individuals as human shields and demand ransom for their release.

The statement read: “Abia State government has uncovered plots by renegade members of a non-state group to attack and kidnap prominent persons in the state including public office holders, traditional rulers, members of the clergy, and hold them as human shield and ransom for negotiations.

While we strongly admonish those behind the dastardly plot to desist from it, we advise such high profile personalities mentioned above to exercise utmost vigilance while going about their normal duties as security agents in the country are on the trail of the arrowheads of the plot with a view to nipping it in the bud and bring those involved to justice.
