Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has lamented the heightened level of insecurity in Nigeria, urging urgent action from the authorities.
She expressed her concern in a post she shared recently on her official Instagram page, while reacting to the recent terrorist attacks in Kwara and Kebbi states.
Three people were killed while an unidentified number of worshippers were abducted on Tuesday evening when terrorists attacked a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Eruku, Ekiti LGA of Kwara state during a program.
Prior to this incident, 25 secondary school girls in Kebbi state were abducted by bandits while their vice principal was killed on Monday.
Reacting to the two incidents, which sparked outrage from the public, Abraham wondered what went wrong.

She noted that terrorism and religious extremism are tearing our communities apart and “changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope.”
Speaking via her verified handle, the thespian 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.”
Abraham also asked, “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?”
