Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode has defended Nigerian pastors facing criticism over their perceived silence on the wave of attacks, kidnappings and insecurity across the country.

The actress, in a recent Instagram post, argued that religious leaders should not be judged solely by their public statements on social media, stressing that meaningful actions often take place away from the public eye.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of people calling out pastors,” she wrote.
