Stella Damasus, a famous nollywood actress received a death threat over her comments on the unfortunate happenings in Nigeria.
On YouTube, she released a video calling a particular serving Senator and his supporters pedophiles while lending a voice to the Child Not Bride campaign months ago and secondly, after the abduction of over 200 girls from Chibok, she released
another video addressing the government and accusing it of not asking
for help from foreign allies.
As a result of these comments some hired assassins where sent to murder her. Nation newspaper reports that 12 heavily armed men allegedly stormed the
Abuja home of her husband, Ademinokan where the actress and her two
daughters were said to have been living before they relocated to the
United States with Ademinokan but met Ademinokan’s younger brother and his mother last Monday when they barged in on them on that fateful day.
From twitter she commented on the incident saying, "That is what Nigeria is known for; you say the truth…they try to
silence you! It will not work on Stella Damasus. I cannot be
intimidated.”
No
form of political bullying or intimidation will work! You can’t shut me
up! I will stand and speak the truth, regardless of your tactics."
