Saheed Osupa, the Fuji singer, has called on urged the federal government to take urgent action to tackle the nation’s escalating security crisis.
The singer delivered his message while performing at the third edition of the Ogudu Carnival in Lagos, where he specifically called for the safe return of school children recently taken by kidnappers.
“Do whatever you can, they should release this children. Their parent didn’t benefit from the money of this country. Find a way to settle this between yourselves,” he said.
“Leave this children out of it. The government should think of how to rescue them very fast. Government should make decision fast! Do whatever it takes.
“We cannot be calm in pains. The poor people in the country are calm in pain why should it cost their lives? It should not be this way.”
His plea adds to the wave of public anxiety over persistent security failures across the country.
Fresh outrage erupted following the reported abduction of students and school staff in the Oriire LGA of Oyo state, where a teacher was beheaded during the attack.
Osupa also joins a growing chorus of celebrities voicing frustration over the situation.
British-Nigerian rapper Skepta recently called out President Bola Tinubu, expressing deep distress over the suffering of Nigerians and questioning how much more the country must endure.
The singer also appealed for global support to what he called a “deep level of injustice” in Nigeria, stating plainly, “the country needs help.”
