Nollywood actress and media personality, Toke Makinwa, has berated those taking advantage of the ongoing nationwide protest to destroy and vandalise properties of fellow Nigerians.

DAILY POST reports that a cross-section of Nigerians trooped out on Thursday to begin a nationwide demonstration over the high level of hardship in the country.

There were reports that some hoodlums took advantage of the peaceful protest to loot the government and private properties in some parts of the country.

Reacting via her X handle Thursday evening, Makinwa said it was uncalled for.

She noted that the individuals whose properties were being looted were also passing through the same hardship.

“Destroying properties and stealing from your fellow Nigerians who are passing through the same hardship is not right at all. This is very sad,” she wrote.

Responding to a critic, she clarified that her tweet does not in any way suggest that the crimes were being perpetrated by the protesters.

She wrote, “I did not say the stealing and vandalism was done by protesters, the people who have their things stolen are Nigerians too, going through the same hardship. What have they done to deserve this?”
