Ruth Kadiri, the producer and actress, has urged President Bola Tinubu to address Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, warning that citizens no longer feel safe even in their own homes.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, Kadiri rejected
claims that public outcry over insecurity is politically motivated, insisting
that innocent lives are being lost daily.
“This is not a propaganda! This is not your enemies trying
to make you look bad,” she wrote.
The filmmaker lamented the rising toll of killings and
violence, noting that many innocent people are suffering for reasons beyond
their control.
She appealed to the president to take action before the
situation deteriorates further, or to grant citizens permission to defend
themselves.
“Dear President Tinubu, pls do something….. Or give us the
go ahead to protect our lives and properties,” she added.
“Too much death everywhere. Being a Nigerian is not even
safe at home anymore.
“Too much innocent lives are paying for sins they know
nothing about.”
Kadiri, who began her acting career in the mid-2000s, is
regarded as one of Nollywood’s respected figures.
The actress’ comments come a few days after armed men
attacked schools and surrounding communities in Oriire LGA of Oyo state,
abducting pupils, students and teachers.
The attacks affected Baptist Nursery and Primary School in Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A Primary School in Esin Ele, all within the Ogbomoso axis.
