Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, a prominent figure in Nollywood, disclosed during an interview that the threats she received over her activism intensified during the #EndSARS protests, shifting the focus of her concerns from herself to her children. She expressed feeling a sense of dread when her children became targets, noting that the severity of the threats made her realize the depth of the situation.

The actress has had her share of personal attacks and threats, but the experience of her children being threatened was a milestone that shifted her perspective on activism and personal safety. The protests against police brutality turned into a deeply personal challenge for her, as she was forced to confront the realities of her activism affecting her loved ones directly.

As the situation escalated with people searching for her at her home and workplace, Omotola recognized the urgency of reassessing her safety measures. This situation prompted her not only to consider her own safety but also to take proactive steps to protect her family from the repercussions of her public stance on social justice issues in Nigeria.
