Veteran Nollywood actress and social activist Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has disclosed how her children faced death threats during the EndSARS.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, the 48-year-old actress said the threats marked a turning point in her long time of advocacy journey, forcing her to rethink how she engages in activism.

“I am used to death threats; I have received them many times,” Omotola said.

“But I have never seen anything like what happened during EndSARS. It was intense, my kids started getting death threats. That was when it became real, and when I realised this was no longer just about me.

​
“When people started coming to my home and workplace looking for me, I knew it was time to think beyond myself. I had to protect others, especially my children,” she said.

Omotola revealed that the experience ultimately pushed her to shift away from street protests toward more strategic, focused advocacy, citing the increasing difficulty of guaranteeing her children’s safety as they grow older.

“I can’t control where they go. I can’t protect them as much. I don’t care for my life, but I do care for them,” she said.

She was speaking about the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

She said, “It’s unfortunate that we’re still where we are now. We have everything that every other nation wants and clamoring for.

“I wish that our leaders can be bo ok d enough to take some decisions to liberate this country even if it means dying for Nigeria.

“Every nation can become very bad or terrible. Even America can be most lawless country if there were no laws or enforcement.

“What keeps any nation sane or in order is laws and enforcement, and it starts from that. So my prayer for Nigeria is that we actually get and find leaders who are selfless and ready to die for this country.

“We saw the people coming to say I love Nigeria. I was poor. I did not have one shoe. All are lies. They don’t care.”

Police officers accused of assaulting popular actor and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, widely known as Ijoba Lande, have been taken into custody by the Lagos State Police Command for investigation.

The development was confirmed in a post shared on X on Friday, February 6, 2026, by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, following public attention surrounding the alleged incident.

According to the police spokesperson, the officers linked to the incident have been identified and are currently undergoing internal investigation.

“The officers involved have been identified and brought before the command for investigation. At present, the officers, the complainant, and his friend are all giving their statements. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses,” the statement read.

Earlier, a video that surfaced on social media showed Ijoba Lande seated in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with visible injuries, including bleeding on the left side of his face and noticeable bruises.

In the footage, the actor, speaking in Yoruba, repeatedly asked for water as bystanders attempted to console him and suggested proceeding to a police station to formally report the incident.

A voice heard in the background of the video alleged that personnel from the Area “J” Police Division were responsible for the assault, repeatedly referencing the station and describing the incident as a wrongful act.

By the end of the clip, the group appeared to have arrived at a police facility, where the actor seemed visibly calmer.

The caption accompanying the video further alleged that the entertainer was robbed during the incident, with his iPhone 16 Pro Max and $1,200 in cash belonging to his brother reportedly taken.

“I returned from the UK six days ago and was attacked and beaten by police officers in Nigeria. They took my iPhone 16 Pro Max and my brother’s $1,200. I nearly lost my life,” the caption stated.

The Lagos State Police Command has assured the public that the matter is being treated with seriousness and that appropriate action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation.
