Earlier, Nigerian actress, Yvonne Jegede, took to social media to call out Nigerian leaders and the government for failing to ease the affairs of the citizens.
In an Instagram post, Jegede said insecurity alone is not the problem, but the government’s lackadaisical approach towards tackling it.
She wrote, “Nigeria government lacks a sense of humanity.
“@Asiwajubat @officialoluremitinubu Nigerians are not doormats nor people you just prey on. Crimes happen everywhere in the world; 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.”
