Famous Nigerian actress Toyin Abraham has expressed deep concern over the worsening insecurity across the country, joining other public figures in condemning the recent violent attacks in Kwara and Kebbi states.
New Daily Prime reports that at least three people were confirmed dead and several worshippers abducted on Tuesday evening when suspected terrorists stormed a church programme at Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The tragic incident occurred just hours after 25 schoolgirls of Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, were kidnapped on Monday, November 17, 2025.

The unsettling developments have triggered mixed reactions nationwide, with some celebrities urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign over what they described as the government’s inability to safeguard the lives of citizens.
Reacting to the tragic events, Toyin Abraham took to her Instagram page to express her fears and heartbreak as a mother and as a Nigerian.
“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?” she wrote.
The actress reflected on the emotional toll of rising violence, emphasising that mothers feel these tragedies deeply.
“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.”
She lamented the increasing threat of terrorism and religious extremism, warning that these attacks are eroding the foundations of Nigerian society.
“Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities, changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope. These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages, they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.”
Posing a set of urgent questions to the government and society, Abraham asked, “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?”
Her emotional reaction adds to the growing chorus of influential voices demanding immediate and decisive action from security agencies and the federal government to curb rising terrorism, banditry, and kidnappings across the country.
