She made this known in a post on her Instagram page, calling out the president and his wife. She said that Nigerians aren’t doormats nor people they can easily prey on.
She said crimes happen everywhere in the world; in Nigeria, the issue is that citizens know that no one will ever come looking for them.
Jegede added that the atrocities haven’t been trībal, religious, nor class-based.
