Nollywood actress Bukola Arugba has sparked major conversation online after challenging the Kwara State First Lady, Olufolake Abdulrazaq, over what she believes is a downplaying of the recent attack in Eruku. Arugba, who has close family ties to the victims, took to Instagram to set the record straight, accusing the First Lady’s page of painting an inaccurate picture of the incident.
The actress explained that the incident was far from an “attempted attack.” In her view, the community suffered a full-blown tragedy that should not be softened or reframed. Paraphrasing her frustration, she essentially argued that calling it “attempted” feels dismissive considering the real losses involved. As she put it directly, “This was not an attempted attack. It was successful.”
Bukola Arugba also revealed that multiple members of her family were abducted during the chaos. She expressed deep worry while stressing that the public deserves clear and truthful reporting about what happened. Summarizing her concern, she emphasized that the pain felt by families like hers should not be minimized. In her words, “Three of my relatives were abducted.”
She went further to mention that some of her cousins remain missing, urging authorities to intensify efforts to secure their release and protect the community. She also noted reports of fatalities, insisting that the losses were real and deserved acknowledgment. Paraphrasing her plea, she highlighted the urgency for transparency and swift governmental action. As she added, “People died. Please tell the truth.”
The actress’s bold callout has since dominated online spaces, with many Nigerians applauding her courage while demanding clarity from official sources. Her stance reflects a wider frustration over security concerns and the need for honest communication during moments of crisis.
