On Tuesday evening, gunmen attacked a church programme in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, killing three people and abducting several worshippers. The tragedy occurred only hours after gunmen kidnapped 25 secondary school girls in Kebbi State on Monday, November 17, 2025.
The incidents have generated widespread public outrage and renewed criticism of the federal government’s handling of security, with some celebrities calling for President Bola Tinubu to resign over what they described as his inability to protect citizens.
Actress Says Violence Leaves “A Wound” on Mothers
Reacting in a lengthy Instagram post, Abraham said the recent attacks highlight the deep emotional toll insecurity is taking on families, especially mothers.
“How do we move past the heaviness in our hearts after watching the heartbreaking video of the attack in Kwara?” she wrote. “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 added that mothers carry “a kind of fear that sits deep in our bones,” noting that news of violence is “not just news to us, it is a wound.”
Warns That Extremism Is Tearing Communities Apart
Abraham condemned terrorism and religious extremism, saying the attacks go beyond villages and directly threaten the foundations of peace and childhood itself.
“Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities,” she wrote. “These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages, they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.”
She also questioned how society can protect children “when cruelty seems to move without fear or consequence.”
Her comments reflect a growing chorus of celebrity and civil society voices demanding stronger action from security agencies and urgent measures to safeguard schools, worship centres and rural communities.
