Tiwa Savage Faces Backlash After Reacting To Oyo School Kidnapping Incident

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has come under criticism online after reacting to the reported kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.

The singer had earlier shared a message expressing concern over the incident while lamenting what she described as the low level of attention the case was receiving online.

According to Tiwa Savage:
“This kidnapping incident that happened in Oyo State, I’m just seeing it lately after Spyro’s post came up. The issue is not trending enough as it should.”

However, her reaction quickly triggered backlash from some social media users, including commentator Bhenjy, who accused the singer of allegedly being politically aligned with the ruling party.

Bhenjy wrote:
“Tiwa Savage, you’re a full-blown APC member, own up to it just like Olamide did. You made a video as if we forced you. You said you saw it on Spyro’s page. Send the video to Tinubu, you’re closer to them and the establishment.”

The comments sparked heated debates online, with many Nigerians discussing celebrity activism, politics and whether public figures should speak more consistently on national issues.

The controversy has continued to generate mixed reactions across social media, with supporters and critics sharing different opinions on the singer’s response to the kidnapping incident.
