Nigerian actress Bukola Arugba has openly criticized Kwara State First Lady, Olufolake Abdulrazaq, over her remarks regarding the recent church attack in the state.
The incident occurred at a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Ekiti LGA, Kwara State, during a church program that was being livestreamed on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The attack resulted in the deaths of three individuals, and several worshippers, including the pastor, were reportedly abducted.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday evening, Arugba challenged the First Lady’s description of the attack as an “attempted” incident. According to the actress, Olufolake Abdulrazaq had suggested in a statement on her official page that the attack had been unsuccessful.
Arugba, who hails from Eruku, refuted this claim, revealing that three of her relatives were among those abducted and remain in the hands of the assailants. She accused the First Lady of minimizing the gravity of the situation, emphasizing that the attack was lethal and carried out with deadly intent by the terrorists.
While calling for help, she said “I read a press release on Kwara state First Lady’s page regarding the bandit attack in my home town Eruku Ekiti LGA Kwara state which totally contradicts the sad truth. This video is to address and correct the report released on your page ma’am.
“This involves my people directly. We all saw the viral video online, they were on live streaming while the program was going on.
“It was never an attempted attack but a successful attack. I was in so much pain after I saw the release that it was an attempted attack, that nobody died. But people were hospitalized, with a lot of people abducted, while three people are confirmed de@d.
“My aunty, Titi Balogun and two of my cousins, Ebenezer and Aina were abducted. The reports on your page are false. It totally contradicts what happened”, she said.
