Lala Akindoju Condemns Rising Kidnappings and Killings: ‘The Office of the Citizen Is Weak’
Nollywood actress Lala Akindoju has denounced the alarming surge in kidnappings, killings and live beheadings across Nigeria. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she warned against normalising violence and urged citizens to hold their leaders accountable for failing to provide security. Lala challenged religious bodies and child protection agencies to speak up and demanded that all Nigerians refuse to stay silent when lives are at stake. She emphasised that if every citizen held the government to account, leaders might be forced to act or at least pretend to care. Several celebrities have joined the outcry. Toyin Abraham questioned state government action after a teacher’s brutal murder. Bobrisky lamented the public’s obsession with celebrity gossip over real dangers and advised Lagos residents to consider leaving. Ruth Kadiri appealed directly to the president to curb the death toll or empower people to protect themselves. Yvonne Jegede described recent events as inhumane and urged everyone to raise their voices.
