Days After Lagos Arrest, Sarah Martins Wins Hearts in Canada as She Feeds the Homeless

Barely days after making headlines for her dramatic arrest while cooking on the streets of Lagos, Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has once again caught public attention — this time, for a heartwarming reason.

The actress was spotted in Ottawa, Canada, distributing 150 packs of food to homeless individuals in an act of kindness that’s now drawing praise across social media.

In a video shared on Tuesday, Sarah was seen personally handing out meals, smiling and interacting warmly with people on the streets. Sharing details of the outreach, she wrote:

“From going grocery shopping, to cooking with the CEO of @suyaroyale under the supervision of @ricci_products representatives, to sharing the sumptuous, well-spiced 150 packs of food with homeless people on the streets of Ottawa.”

Her post has since gone viral, with many Nigerians admiring the gesture — especially after the controversy surrounding her recent street-cooking stunt in Lagos, which reportedly led to her arrest by law enforcement officers for obstructing public roads.
