The public's response to the development was divided, with some celebrities demanding that President Bola Tinubu step down due to his failure to save Nigerians’ lives.

But in response to the occurrence, the actress expressed worry along with other celebrities.

She wrote in part: “How do we move past the heaviness in our hearts after watching the heartbreaking video of the attack in Kwara? How can any mother close her eyes at night knowing that 25 young girls have been stolen from their families, girls who should be safe, laughing, learning, dreaming? “As mothers, we carry a kind of fear that sits deep in our bones. When we hear of such violence, it is not just news to us, it is a wound.
“Terrorism and religious extremism are tearing at the fabric of our communities, changing the way people live, love, pray, and hope. These fanatics and terrorists are not just attacking villages; they are attacking the very idea of safety, childhood, and peace.”
