Don Jazzy, Davido, Falz, and Mr. Macaroni were among the other musicians that called on authorities to act quickly to safeguard the public.
Yemi Alade, however, voiced opposed to calls for foreign intervention, contending that African countries should handle their own security issues rather than depending on outside help.
In a related occurrence, Bolaji Ogunmola, a Nollywood actress, expressed her serious concern for the safety of Nigerian families and gave her thoughts on the country’s escalating murder rate.
