Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has voiced her frustration and heartbreak over the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State, questioning what she described as the growing normalisation of insecurity in Nigeria.
In a post shared on her Instagram Story, the actress said she woke up feeling angry and deeply troubled by the plight of the kidnapped pupils and the nation’s response to the incident.
“I woke up this morning angry, heartbroken and deeply unsettled,” she wrote.
Njoku questioned whether Nigerians have become desensitised to kidnappings, violent attacks, and other security challenges that continue to affect communities across the country.
The filmmaker expressed concern that incidents which should provoke national outrage are increasingly being treated as routine news headlines, despite the devastating impact on victims and their families.
Her comments come amid growing public concern over the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State, a development that has triggered calls for urgent action from government and security agencies.
Njoku’s remarks have resonated with many Nigerians online, with several social media users echoing her concerns about the country’s security situation and the need for stronger measures to protect citizens.
The actress joins a growing list of public figures who have spoken out in recent days, urging authorities to intensify efforts to secure the release of the abducted victims and address the broader insecurity crisis.
