Reacting to the situation, she wrote, “Give us power to defend ourselves.”
Prompt News reports the actress stressed that many citizens feel increasingly vulnerable as violent incidents continue to affect communities, adding that safety should be treated as a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
Her remarks have sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians agreeing with her concerns and calling for stronger security measures from the government.
