Officer Woos Raises Alarm Over Rising Insecurity as His Uncle Goes Missing for a Month

Popular comedian and skitmaker Officer Woos has joined the growing number of Nigerian celebrities expressing deep concern over the worsening security situation in the country. In an emotional post on his X handle, the entertainer revealed that his mother’s only brother has been missing for an entire month.

According to Woos, his uncle was on his way home but never arrived — a disappearance that has left his family in distress and uncertainty.

He wrote:
“My mom’s only blood brother has been missing for a month now. He was on his way home and never got home. For how long are we going to continue living like this? Scary times.”

The comedian lamented that Nigerians now live in constant fear due to terrorism, kidnappings, and escalating violence across different regions. His personal loss adds a painful face to a crisis many families across the country continue to experience.

Other celebrities have also voiced their frustration and heartbreak. Award-winning actress Funke Akindele reacted strongly to the recent attack on a church in Kwara State, describing a livestream of the incident as “sad and disturbing.”
“I wept seeing that old woman who couldn’t walk well running for safety,” she wrote.

These reactions reflect a growing chorus of voices calling attention to the deepening security crisis that continues to shake Nigeria.

Opinion: When Laughter Turns to Fear — Officer Woos’ Pain Shows Nigeria Is Running Out of Time

It is particularly striking when a comedian — someone whose job is to make others laugh — shares a story rooted in fear, grief, and helplessness. Officer Woos’ revelation is not just a personal tragedy; it represents the reality of countless families in Nigeria today.

His uncle’s disappearance underscores the terrifying normalization of insecurity. Too many people set out on ordinary journeys and simply never return. Too many families are left searching, guessing, or mourning in silence.

Officer Woos’ question — “For how long are we going to continue living like this?” — is one the nation must confront urgently.

Funke Akindele’s tears over the Kwara church attack only adds to the weight of the moment. When public figures, usually known for strength, creativity, and resilience, break down publicly, it signals a crisis that can no longer be ignored or brushed aside.

What makes these stories even more painful is the sense of helplessness. Nigerians no longer ask if insecurity will strike; they ask when and where. And that is not how a nation should function.

Their voices highlight a truth that must not be dismissed:
A country cannot flourish when its citizens are afraid to move freely, worship safely, or return home without fear of vanishing.

Officer Woos’ pain is a plea — not just for his family, but for every Nigerian.
A plea for accountability.
A plea for transparency.
A plea for action.

Because the country has reached a point where silence is no longer an option, and fear has no business becoming a way of life.
