Nigerian music star, Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, has spoken out about the troubling situation in his hometown.
In a recent video, the singer highlighted the growing insecurity in Okun, lamenting the frequent killings that have left the community in fear.
According to him, both security operatives and local vigilantes have lost their lives, yet the government has remained silent on the matter.
Jaywon appealed directly to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to intervene and put an end to the violence affecting his people.
His emotional post has sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing their concerns and personal experiences about the crisis.
Jaywon wrote:
“How can Fulani men be armed to “protect” the people against the same Fulani herdsmen who are killing and kidnapping them? This is nothing but backwardness and a failure of leadership.”
“This is not just Egbe’s pain, it’s Okun land’s pain, it’s Nigeria’s shame. 💔 Policemen and vigilantes killed, yet silence from those in power. The people have taken to the streets, demanding answers! #JusticeForOkun #EndInsecurity.”
“THREE POLICE OFFICERS AND TWO VIGILANTES WERE MURDERED IN YAGBA, YET NEARLY 48 HOURS LATER, THE @NIGERIANPOLICEFORCE AND THE IGP HAVE SAID NOTHING. IF THOSE IN UNIFORM ARE NOT SAFE, WHAT HOPE IS LEFT FOR THE ORDINARY MAN? THIS SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.”
“KOGI IS BLEEDING. AND ALL WE SEE IS CAMOUFLAGE. MR. PRESIDENT @OFFICIALABAT, PLEASE DO NOT ABANDON US. WE DESERVE JUSTICE AND PROTECTION.”
