Rita Dominic, Nigerian actress, says it’s surreal that the country is slipping into anarchy without any attempt to arrest the situation.
There has been unrest in various parts of the country with cases of killing, kidnapping, banditry and destruction of properties on the rise.
In a Twitter post on Monday, the 45-year-old movie star said elected officials must do more to address the worsening state of things before they get out of hand.
According to her, there must be concerted efforts by the government to douse the rising tension in the country for peace to reign.
Dominic said the “harassment and killing of innocent citizens” cannot address the challenges confronting the country.
“I am afraid that we are watching Nigeria slip into anarchy. It is surreal. Our elected officials need to work harder to douse the tension in the country. We need peace to reign. Harassing and killing innocent citizens can never solve anything,” she wrote.
The actress had in April revealed why she decided to disclose her relationship with Fidelis Anosike, founder of Folio Media Group, on social media last year.
“That’s the thing…it just happened. Oh my goodness Chude! Anyway…It just happened, a spur of the moment, happiness. Once in a while, you want to share certain things with people and I felt like my lovers, had been there for me for decades,” she had said.
