Prominent Nigerian entertainers have expressed deep outrage and heartbreak over the deadly bandit attack in Eruku, Kwara State, where terrorists stormed a church, killed worshippers, and abducted several others including the pastor.
The tragic incident has sparked widespread condemnation across the country, with celebrities calling out the government for failing to safeguard the lives of its citizens.
Falz, in a fiery post, berated the authorities for their “consistent failure” and demanded immediate accountability:
“How many more people have to be kidnapped and murdered in cold blood?
How many more lives do you want to waste?
How many more futures do you wish to erase with your incompetence and inaction? @officialABAT”
Mr. Macaroni echoed the frustration, describing the leadership as insensitive and disconnected from the suffering of the people:
“Nigerians are waking up to yet another terrorist attack on a church in Kwara State.
We have a tone-deaf President, a callous and irresponsible government surrounded by the worst set of lunatics whose sycophancy and deception have made this country unbearable for the people!”
Funke Akindele shared her emotional reaction after watching a livestream of the horrifying attack:
“Woke up to see a livestream video of people being attacked inside a church in Kwara. 😭😭
This is sad and disturbing. I wept seeing that old woman who couldn’t walk well running for safety.”
AY Makun lamented the rapid deterioration of security nationwide, questioning the silence and inaction of the government:
“Nigeria is turning into a crime scene.
Bandits storm churches to kill and abduct Christians. Children are kidnapped from schools. A Brigadier General is shot dead.
Every day brings fresh chaos yet the government remains silent. How did we get here?
Must outsiders come to fix what our leaders refuse to confront?
Which way Nigeria?
We need safety, accountability and real action, not silence.”
Their reactions reflect the widespread frustration among citizens as insecurity intensifies across multiple states, with little reassurance from authorities.
