In his caption, the This Year crooner recounted how he found himself facing legal action simply because he raised an alarm about insecurity back in May.
He recalled:
“On May 25th, 2025, I was sued for raising awareness about this same insecurity just for using my platform to speak for our people.”
Kwara State is not often known for violent conflict, but residents say the rising wave of kidnappings and bandit attacks has made formerly safe towns feel like ticking time bombs.
Jaywon, who hails from Kogi State, noted that Eruku is barely a quarter-hour drive from Egbe, a place he considers home. The closeness, he said, makes the attack feel personal.

@so_bod:
"I was to attend my maternal uncle's burial in Odo Eri lady week but couldn't because of the insecurity. My aunt in Egbe is also calling us every time giving us daily updates. People can no longer go out of their house. It's scary right now in Kogi, especially the Okun part"
@wiztop221:
"But why are they covering this insecurity among themselves, when we cant even travel to kogi west once you pass kabba the rest na prayer most especially from Isanlu to Kware and please y'all should not come for me cuz I never ever see #100,000 before for my life"
@lifeofadrain:
"Very unfortunate, those who think they are not feeling the insecurity thinking the estate they stay is very safe will surely experience fear and uncertainty one day. Until we all wake up in Nigeria nothing will happen"
@hannydarl:
"The fact that these wicked politicians politicize these attacks makes it seem as if they're backing the terrorists"
