Award-winning Nollywood actress Kehinde Bankole has issued a direct demand to the Federal Government, the Office of the National Security Advisor, and the country’s intelligence agencies to immediately deploy “full wrath and force” to end the escalating wave of kidnappings in the country.
In a social media post on Wednesday, the actress voiced the growing exhaustion of everyday Nigerians, declaring that the public is tired of “condolence speeches” and demands immediate, tactical results to save the lives of citizens.
“It is no longer about why it is happening; it is now simply about lives! Lives are being lost! This should not be our new normal, children running for their lives in 2026! Oh God,” she wrote.
In her post, Bankole tackled a political defence that rising insecurity and kidnappings are being sponsored by opposition elements or saboteurs seeking to de-market the current administration.
Rather than using “sabotage” as an excuse, Bankole argued that such theories should compel the state’s security apparatus to act with even greater aggression.
