The actress made the remarks via her Instagram story, where she linked political support for the President to criminal behaviour, a statement that has since drawn significant attention across social platforms.

“Every supporter of Tinubu is a kidnapper, killer, beheader, and corrupt individual. Deal with your conscience,” she wrote.

The comments come against the backdrop of heightened public anger over recent incidents of violence and abductions across parts of the country, including the reported kidnapping of schoolchildren in Oyo State and the killing of a teacher, which have sparked nationwide outrage.

In recent days, several public figures and entertainers have voiced concern over the security situation, with many calling for urgent government intervention and stronger protection of civilians.

Yvonne Jegede’s remarks have added to an already tense public debate, with critics arguing that such sweeping statements risk deepening political divisions, while supporters insist they reflect frustration over the worsening security crisis.
