Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has called out the Nigerian government over the rising insecurity in the country.
The actress shared her concerns on Instagram, where she reacted to the growing cases of violence and crime across Nigeria.
“Nigerians are not doormats nor people you just prey on. Crimes happen everywhere in the world, it is the fact that Nigerians know that no one will ever come looking for them is the issue. These atrocities have not been tribal, religious nor class based.”
She shared the message alongside a graphic image that criticised the government. The image described the government as lacking “a sense of humanity.” She also tagged President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu in the post.
Insecurity remains a major concern for many Nigerians. Reports of kidnappings, attacks and other violent crimes continue to make headlines across the country.
Her post quickly attracted reactions online. Some users agreed with her comments and praised her for speaking up. Others disagreed with her position.
