Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has appealed to the government to take urgent action over the security challenges facing the country.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the actor expressed concern over the growing insecurity, lamenting that schools and classrooms, once considered safe spaces for learning, have become targets of attacks. He questioned how the nation had reached a point where innocent children could be left vulnerable in the hands of criminals despite being under the protection of elected leaders.
Adedimeji also pointed out that another election season is drawing near, with politicians already making fresh promises to the people. He lamented that while innocent schoolchildren remain in captivity, life appears to be continuing as normal for those in positions of authority.
The movie star urged the government to act swiftly, passionately appealing for the safe return of the abducted children and their teachers.
His words…
“This is beyond the rhythm of the song and the melody behind the lyrics; it is about our pain, our unwanted reality.
Who would have thought that classrooms would no longer be safe? Who would have thought that vulnerable children would be turned over to puns in the hands of the people we elected?
Election is around the corner, and they’re making promises again. Innocent children are in the loins of daredevils, yet it’s business as usual for them… who do we call?
Dear people in government, pick up the call. You know what to do, we’re begging you. Do it. Bring back the kids and their teachers… Edakun”.
