Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has criticized the Nigerian government over the country’s worsening security situation, accusing authorities of lacking compassion in their response to the challenges facing citizens.

The actress made the remarks in a social media post amid growing public concern over incidents of kidnapping, violent attacks, and other security threats reported across different parts of the country. Jegede expressed frustration over what she described as the government’s inadequate response to the plight of ordinary Nigerians affected by insecurity.

According to reports, the actress stated that the Nigerian government lacks “a sense of humanity,” while calling attention to the hardships experienced by citizens. She also urged leaders to demonstrate greater empathy and take more decisive action to address the country’s security challenges.

Her comments add to a growing wave of criticism from public figures, civil society groups, and concerned citizens who have voiced concerns about rising insecurity and its impact on communities nationwide. Security issues, including kidnappings and violent crimes, have remained a major topic of public debate in recent months.

While the federal government has repeatedly pledged to strengthen security operations and protect lives and property, critics argue that more comprehensive measures are needed to tackle the root causes of the crisis and restore public confidence. The government has maintained that efforts are ongoing to improve security across the country.

Jegede’s remarks have generated significant reactions online, with supporters and critics engaging in discussions about the state of security and governance in Nigeria. The actress has previously used her platform to comment on social and political issues affecting Nigerians.
