Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has called for justice following the alleged arrest and detention of Sammy West, the brother of actress Regina Daniels.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, Mercy expressed outrage over the reported circumstances surrounding Sammy’s detention, describing it as “the worst form of injustice.”
According to her, the young man was arrested and flown from Lagos to Abuja, but has been denied access to family or legal representation for two days. She also alleged that he was taken straight to court from the airport.
“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice. A child was arrested, no one can or has been allowed to see him for two days,” Mercy wrote. “He was flown from Lagos to Abuja and allegedly taken to court from the airport. How did we get here, Nigeria?”
She ended her post with the hashtags #WhereIsSamuel and #FreeSamuelOjeagwu, calling for his immediate release and transparency in the case.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians joining Mercy Johnson in demanding justice and accountability over the alleged unlawful detention.
In other news…. Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, widely known as Waje, recently opened up about being overlooked for certain perks following her collaboration with the now-defunct music duo Psquare.
The singer and mother of one shared her experience during an appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, reflecting on her journey in the music industry.
Waje revealed that she lent her voice to Psquare’s 2007 hit “Do Me, I Do You,” singing part of the track. She even reminded fans of her contribution from back then.
Despite her involvement, Waje said she was neither compensated nor publicly acknowledged by Psquare for her work on the song.
The discussion took a pause just as she began describing the actions she took after realizing she had been overlooked.
Recalling the emotional side of the experience, Waje asked listeners to picture her walking through Onitsha Market, hearing the song on the speakers, and telling vendors that it was her singing only for them to respond with indifference, asking, “Who are you?”
