According to officials and the Christian Association of Nigeria, armed men stormed a secondary school and two primary schools in Ahoro Esinele community, Oriire district, on Friday morning, May 15, 2026, Al Jazeera reports.
In the video, Bambam, visibly shaken, questioned the nation’s response to repeated abductions. She asked:
“So what are we going to do about it? We’re all crying, making posts, and having AI create flyers for us. What is the plan, guys? Is it until it happens to our own children, or our uncle’s, auntie’s, mother, father? It could have been a relative of yours teaching in that school, or a relative of mine.”
The actress lamented the helplessness many Nigerians feel, stressing that insecurity has become overwhelming.
She urged citizens to check on loved ones and maintain regular medical checkups, adding that the constant stream of bad news on social media was draining.
In her caption, Bambam also wrote:
"Today it’s someone else’s loved one… tomorrow it could be ours. Please check on your people. Call them. Love them loudly. Be kinder. Be softer with people. You truly never know what someone is carrying. And cancer… cancer is a bastarrd. It has taken two people I deeply care about, and I’m honestly tired of pretending we have time. We don’t always. Please do regular health checkups. Please listen to your body. Please take your health seriously. Please don’t wait till it’s too late.
"We deserve better. Better security. Better healthcare. Better leadership. Better humanity. ❤️🕊️ Lord comfort those who mourn. Help us find everyone kidnapped no scratch no harm must come to them. Help us to think as one nation, one family! One people! Unite us in love. Lead us lord God. Help us to be a blessing and a solution."

"Early this morning at 5am I woke did my morning prayer and worship, brushed my teeth 🪥 and went back to bed just about 2min into lying down I started hearing crying voices of children it was sounding like voices from the age of 12 to 4 it was so loud in my ears and immediately I opened my eyes and was wondering why I was hearing voices of children crying it was a really weird revelation I've ever had and then I remembered the children captured by bandits and I started praying them. 😢😢."
