Oyo Attack: My heart is heavy – Actress Toyin Abraham mourns victims

Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic incident involving teachers and children abducted in Oyo State.

In an Instagram post, Wednesday, Abraham said, “My heart is deeply heavy over the painful killings and abductions happening in Oyo State and across different parts of Nigeria.

“As someone with strong ties to Oyo State through family, culture and love for the people, this tragedy feels very personal to me. It is heartbreaking to see innocent lives lost, families thrown into mourning, children living in fear and communities traumatised by violence.

“1 mourn especially with the families of the victims, the parents whose children were taken, and everyone affected by the recent attacks in Oriire Local Government and other parts of the state. No Nigerian deserves to live in fear. No child should be afraid to go to school. No family should wake up to news of violence and bloodshed.

“I want to sincerely commend the efforts of the security agencies and the Oyo State Government, but it is important to appeal for more urgent and decisive actions to secure the release of those still in captivity and strengthen the protection of lives and communities
