“I refuse to normalise the state of killings & kidnapping in Nigeria,” Akindoju wrote. She asked citizens to imagine if a victim were their father, husband, or brother—would they still remain silent? She questioned whether people would stay calm if they had spent a week without their children. Her message underscored the emotional toll on families and communities, urging Nigerians to recognize that the crisis is not distant but deeply personal.
Akindoju concluded by calling for collective action, asserting that if all Nigerians hold leaders accountable, there may be pressure to act. She expressed frustration with the current state of affairs, noting that child protection agencies and other relevant bodies have yet to make their voices heard. Her words resonate with many who are weary of inaction and demand urgent, tangible solutions to restore peace and security across Nigeria. As the country grapples with rising insecurity, Akindoju’s call for unity and accountability may spark renewed public engagement in the fight for safety and justice.
