Overview
The Lagos State Government has officially addressed the controversy involving Nollywood actress Sarah Martins and officials of the Kick Against Indiscipline, defending the enforcement action as a necessary measure against “engaging in unauthorised activities on public infrastructure.”
PUNCH Online reports that Martins, the founder of the Golden Heart Foundation, had on Thursday alleged harassment by KAI officials after she was stopped from cooking food for people on a street in Lekki.
The report added that in videos circulating on social media, Martins was seen visibly distraught and in tears, clutching her hand, which appeared swollen and covered in a liquid substance said to be hot oil spilt on her hand during the enforcement action.
The videos reportedly sparked widespread outrage and mixed reactions online as some Nigerians condemned what they described as excessive and inhumane treatment by the officials, while others insisted that the task force was only enforcing the law.
