- Mary Njoku, a Nollywood actress, is alarmed by the rise in child kidnappings in Nigeria.
- She questions the lack of response and silence from the public and authorities regarding the issue.
- Njoku shared her feelings of anger, heartbreak, and emotional disturbance on her Instagram story.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has raised concerns over the recent wave of child kidnappings in the country, questioning the silence and seeming inaction surrounding the issue.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, she expressed deep frustration, saying she woke up feeling angry, heartbroken, and emotionally disturbed by the situation.
She wondered whether the abducted children have simply been forgotten and if there is truly nothing more that can be done to rescue them.
Njoku also questioned whether society is expected to move on as though nothing has happened, suggesting that Nigerians may be growing desensitised to recurring reports of banditry, kidnappings, and worsening insecurity.
Her words…
“I woke up this morning, Angry, heartbroken, and deeply unsettled.
Are we really saying that these kidnapped children are just gone?
Are we saying that nothing more can be done?
That innocent children and toddlers can vanish, and somehow the rest of us are expected to carry on as though nothing happened?
Have we become so numb to the endless reports of bandits, kidnappings, and insecurity in Nigeria that they barely move us anymore?
Is this what we’ve accepted as normal?”.
