The actress mother of one wrote on her page about how much hurt she feels for Tina’s parent commending the swift reaction to arrest the erring police officer while still calling out the Nigerian police for the incessant act of lawlessness and killing of innocent souls.
She further wrote saying Nigerians must feel safe within Nigeria. Taking to her page, Toyin wrote;
”What do we call it when policemen who are supposed to be protectors of lives are the one taking lives? My hearts are with the parents of Tina and I am committed to supporting them in my own little way. I am impressed with the swift response on arresting the erring cops but please let it not end there. Police as an institution must show that it will no longer condone this act of lawlessness. Nigerians must feel safe within Nigeria.”

I spoke to Tina’s mum yesterday and today. It was the most heart breaking moments of 2020. I am sad. Very-very sad. Being a parent doesn’t have to be this hard in Nigeria. Federal Government, Nigerian Police, we need justice. This should not go like any other case. pic.twitter.com/lpZPQ5JOGM
