She later expanded her thoughts on her Instagram page, stressing that she is not a politician or activist but a citizen demanding basic human rights.

Yvonne lamented that Nigerians are not even discussing hunger, bad policies, lack of education, poor healthcare, or unemployment anymore, because kidnapping has now taken centre stage.

“I am not an economist, neither am I a political scientist. I am not an activist nor a freedom fighter, I just know that value added to life is every human being’s right. We are not even addressing hunger nor bad policies, we are not talking about subsidies and lack of education nor lack of health care neither do we remember that employment sef no dey. It is kidnapping we are now addressing. KIDNAPPING?? As in to dey kidnap people??? Una don dey mad for this country. Are you people not ashamed??? Kidnapping?? You mean banditry is now a pandemic in Nigeria??? You people make me shame. All the men and women in power who are involved in this, SHAME.”
