Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has joined the list of celebrities speaking out over the killings in Oyo State.
Kemi Filani reported that the Mathematics teacher in Oyo State, identified as Michael Oyedokun, was allegedly slaughtered by Fulani terrorists.
On her Twitter page, she expressed sadness over the news, stating that the tragedy feels personal to her as she has a strong tie to Oyo State through family.
Abraham commended the efforts of the security agencies and the Oyo State government. However, she questioned what the state government is doing to prevent future occurrences.
“My heart is deeply heavy over the painful killings and abductions happening in Oyo State and across different parts of Nigeria.
As someone with strong ties to Oyo State through family, culture and love for the people, this tragedy feels very personal to me. It is heartbreaking to see innocent lives lost, families thrown into mourning, children living in fear and communities traumatised by violence.
I mourn especially with the families of the victims, the parents whose children were taken, and everyone affected by the recent attacks in Oriire Local Government and other parts of the state. No Nigerian deserves to live in fear. No child should be afraid to go to school. No family should wake up to news of violence and bloodshed.
I want to sincerely commend the efforts of the security agencies and the Oyo State Government. However, it is important to appeal for more urgent and decisive actions to secure the release of those still in captivity and strengthen the protection of lives and communities. And please, what is the state government doing to prevent future occurrences?
Nigeria belongs to all of us, and this is a time for unity, compassion and collective responsibility. We cannot normalise violence. We must continue to speak up, support one another and pray for peace to return to our land.
May God comfort every grieving family, heal our nation and protect every innocent life”.
Also, reacting to the death of the teacher, Bobrisky lamented over how Nigerians are more focused on Chike and Frank Edoho’s story. He noted that Nigeria is in trouble, especially for those living in Lagos, and urged them to leave the country for good without looking back.
Ruth Kadiri, wrote a letter to President Tinubu, urging him to either do something about the alarming rate of death in the country or give people the go-ahead to protect their lives and properties. Kadiri noted how there is too much death in the country and how being a Nigerian isn’t safe anymore.
Yvonne Jegede expressed sadness over the news, noting how only a certain group of people are complaining when everyone should. Describing the recent events as inhumane, she expressed concern that people aren’t standing up to it.
