Outspoken media personality, Charlyboy, popularly known as AreaFada, has called out religious leaders in Nigeria for ‘hypnotizing’ people with miracles.
The activist lamented the level of corruption in the country, which according to him, had become a way of life.
He made this known on Sunday at the 13th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Memorial lecture and symposium with the theme, “Nigeria Anti-Corruption War: Whither The Legal Profession and The Judiciary?” which held in Lagos.
He said his late father, a retired justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, will be cringing in his grave over corruption in the nation’s judiciary.
The self-professed President of Frustrated Nigerians said, “The masses are being corrupted by fear, my father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, must be cringing in his grave because of the corruption in the nation’s judiciary.
“Corruption has not just become our way of life in Nigeria, but has become our legal tandem.
“The Nigerian people are being looted by all sides, religious leaders are not helping the people, they are continuously hypnotizing my people with miracles, signs and wonders.
“I am involved in a street project titled, ‘our mumu don do;’ this is a project through which I believe the judiciary can be cleansed of by a movement led by the masses.
“Lawyers have become contractors, judges have opened mega banks in their homes at their villages, justice in Nigeria comes at a price.
“Not all members of the bar and bench are corrupt, not all members of the judiciary and legal profession are bad, but current events have ridiculed the legacy left behind by my father and other legal icons.
“The docility of the Nigerian populace has to be addressed with the emancipation of their minds because the humanity of Fawehinmi no longer exists in the country,” the showbiz mogul added.
