Following the tragic killing of a schoolteacher abducted during the recent school raids in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has made an appeal to highly connected Nigerian celebrities, traditional rulers, and politicians to urgently use their access to power to save the masses. In a video posted to her Instagram page on Tuesday, the actress expressed anxiety over the encroaching insecurity in the Southwest, warning that the crisis is “knocking on our doors” and can no longer be ignored.
Aiyeola’s outcry was triggered by the tragic death of the Oyo State teacher, Oyedukun, who was beheaded by bandits while in captivity. “I’m sure a lot of us have either seen on the news, internet, or watched the video of the late teacher, Mr Oyedukun, a teacher in Oyo State,” she said.
“This video is just to call the attention of well-influential colleagues with the platform, the voice, or connection to please lend a voice to the masses. ” While clarifying that she was not attacking her colleagues or calling for street protests, Aiyeola specifically named several Nollywood stars and entertainers, including Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Lege Miami, Laide Bakare, and Eniola Badmus.
