Popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi, has reacted to the recent killings and abductions in Obomoso, Oyo State and other parts of Nigeria, describing the situation as heartbreaking and unacceptable.

In an emotional statement on Wednesday, the actress said the violence feels personal to her because of her strong ties to Oyo State through family, culture, and longstanding connections with the people.

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

Toyin Abraham lamented the loss of innocent lives, the growing fear among school children, and the trauma experienced by affected communities following attacks in Oriire Local Government Area and subsequent killing of one of the abducted school teachers by the gunmen.
