Famous Nigerian actress, Toyin Abraham, has decried the heightened insecurity in Nigeria.
The actress expressed concern over the nation security situation while reacting to the recent terrorist attack in Kwara State and the kidnap of school children in Kebbi state.
NigeriaTodayTimes reported that three people were confirmed dead while an unidentified number of worshippers were abducted on Tuesday evening during a church program at Eruku, Ekiti LGA of Kwara state.
The tragic incident occurred a few hours after the abduction of 25 secondary school girls in Kebbi state on Monday November 17 2025.
The development sparked mixed reactions from the public, with some celebrities calling on president Bola Tinubu’s to resign over his inability to protect the life of Nigerians.
However, reacting to the incident, the actress joined other public figures to express concern.
Speaking in a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she wrote “How do we move past the heaviness in our hearts after watching the heartbreaking video of the attack in Kwara? How does any mother close her eyes at night knowing that 25 young girls have been stolen from their families, girls who should be safe, laughing, learning, dreaming?
As mothers, we carry a kind of fear that sits deep in our bones. When we hear of such violence, it is not just news to us, it is a wound.
“Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities, changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope. These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages, they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.
“So how do we confront a world where innocent souls are kidnapped and killed in the name of hatred? How do we protect our children when cruelty seems to move without fear or consequence?”, she asked.
