EndSARS: Omotola Narrates Ordeal, Says her Children Had Close Shave With Death

Seun EMMANUEL Veteran Nollywood actress and social activist Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has disclosed how her children faced death threats during the EndSARS. Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, the 48-year-old actress said the threats marked a turning point in her long time of advocacy journey, forcing her to rethink how she engages in activism. “I am used to death threats; I have received them many times,” Omotola said. “But I have never seen anything like what happened during EndSARS. It was intense; my kids started getting death threats. That was when it became real, and when I realised this was no longer just about me. ​“When people started coming to my home and workplace looking for me, I knew it was time to think beyond myself. I had to protect others, especially my children,” she said. Omotola revealed that the experience ultimately pushed her to shift away from street protests toward more strategic, focused advocacy, citing the increasing difficulty of guaranteeing her children’s safety as they grow older. “I can’t control where they go. I can’t protect them as much. I don’t care for my life, but I do care for them,” she said.
