Rahama Sadau Condemns Brutal Killing of Northern Travelers in Edo, Demands Justice
Popular Kannywood actress Rahama Sadau has expressed deep outrage over the brutal killing of travelers from Northern Nigeria in Uromi, Edo State. The actress did not hold back her emotions, calling out the authorities for their perceived failure to prevent the attack.
Taking to her X handle, Sadau questioned the lack of security intervention, suggesting that the killings were not a spontaneous act but one that took time, meaning law enforcement could have stepped in.
“I am angry. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the full video of the massacre in Edo State… Allah ya isa!!! Allah ya isa!!! Allah ya isa!!! What have we become as humans, please? Wallahi, zuciyata zafi takeyi… Where were the authorities when that happened? I’m sure it took them time to carry out such a brutal act. Justice must be served!! #TheNorthRemembers ✊”
A Call for Accountability and Justice
Sadau’s reaction reflects the growing frustration among Nigerians over insecurity and the seeming inaction of security agencies when attacks like this occur. Her hashtag, #TheNorthRemembers, signals that this is not just about one tragic event, but a bigger issue of regional tensions, ethnic attacks, and security negligence.
While many Nigerians have joined her in demanding justice, others argue that tribal sentiments and divisions must not cloud the call for fairness and truth. The incident in Edo State raises critical questions:
Why was there no immediate security intervention?
Who were the perpetrators, and what was their motive?
Will justice be served, or will this be another case swept under the rug?
The Bigger Picture: A Nation on Edge
This tragedy adds to the long list of security concerns in Nigeria, where ethnic and regional tensions continue to escalate. The government must act swiftly to investigate the killings, hold those responsible accountable, and rebuild trust in security forces.
Rahama Sadau’s voice is just one of many, but will the authorities listen and take action, or will this be another painful reminder of Nigeria’s fragile security situation?
