Nollywood star actress, Toyin Abraham has been thrown into deep emotional distress following the tragic terrorist attack in Kwara State and the abduction of schoolchildren in Kebbi State.
The screen star took to Instagram to share her heartbreak, expressing grief and frustration over the worsening insecurity affecting innocent Nigerians—especially young girls.
She 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?”
The actress, known for her outspoken nature on social issues, went on to reflect on the fear mothers carry every day in a country battling persistent violence.
“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.”
Toyin lamented the rise of terrorism and religious extremism, emphasizing how deeply it is reshaping the lives and hopes of ordinary Nigerians.
“Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities, changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope,” she said.
“These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages, they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.”
In her concluding remarks, she posed a painful question that many Nigerians are asking:
“So 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?”
