Nigerian singer and actor Ibrahim Olawale Olofooro, widely known as Brymo, has stirred heated reactions after his remarks on the recent gunmen attack in Jos, Plateau state capital.

Reports confirmed that more than 27 people were killed during the attack, which struck while worshippers were gathered, causing panic and sparking revenge clashes in nearby settlements.
Plateau state governor, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, responded by imposing a 48‑hour curfew across Jos North in an effort to restore calm, while security agencies began investigations to track down those behind the violence.
The incident added to years of unrest in Plateau State, leaving many Nigerians frustrated with recurring insecurity.
Brymo’s statement was triggered by a video of an American missionary who accused President Tinubu of failing to act over the killings and warned that the president would regret his inaction.
Reacting to the video, Brymo countered that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not feel any regret over the killings.
The singer's statement resonated differently among Nigerians already burdened by grief and distrust in leadership, and drew mixed reactions online.
