Popular Nollywood actress, Ada Ameh, in an emotional-laden video on her Instagram account has pleaded with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and the governor of Lagos State, Babjide Sanwo-Olu, to listen to the youth so that she can bury her daughter in peace.
In the video, the comic actress with teary eyes begged the government to desist from killing youths and remove the soldiers from the streets.
She said, “Good morning Mr President, good morning Sanwo-Olu, please I just want to beg. I am begging since in Nigeria they have said that we should not ask for anything nicely. People are protesting and they are killing them by sending soldiers. We have Boko Haram to deal with; Boko Haram dey there to deal with una no deploy soldiers to deal with them, Crocodile smile.
