The actress noted that her emotional connection to Oyo State stems from strong family and cultural ties to the region.

“My heart is deeply heavy over the painful killings and abductions happening in Oyo State and across different parts of Nigeria,” Toyin Abraham wrote.

She particularly mourned with parents whose children were abducted, as well as families affected by the recent attacks in Oriire Local Government Area.

According to the filmmaker, no Nigerian should be forced to live in fear or constantly worry about safety.

“No child should be afraid to go to school. No family should wake up to news of violence and bloodshed,” she stated.

Toyin Abraham also commended the efforts of security agencies and the Oyo State Government in responding to the crisis, while stressing that more decisive and urgent measures are needed.

The actress questioned what additional steps authorities are taking to prevent future attacks and improve the protection of vulnerable communities.

Her emotional appeal comes amid growing national concern over insecurity, kidnappings, and attacks targeting schools and rural communities across Nigeria.

Toyin Abraham urged Nigerians to remain united and compassionate during the difficult period, warning against normalising violence in society.

“We cannot normalise violence. We must continue to speak up, support one another and pray for peace to return to our land,” she added.

The actress concluded her message with prayers for grieving families and for the safety of innocent citizens affected by the attacks.
