Nollywood actress and philanthropist Sarah Martins (@officialsarahmartins) has shared a heartbreaking video on Instagram showing the moment she was allegedly harassed by uniformed officers while preparing free meals for the homeless in Lagos.
In the emotional footage, the actress appeared visibly shaken and in pain, with her hand covered in hot oil. She explained that during the chaos, as the officers harassed her and tried to seize her cooking equipment, a pot of hot oil accidentally spilt on her hand, leaving her injured. Despite the pain, she continued to express her frustration and heartbreak over the incident. Sarah recounted that the officers took away her cooking gas, food items, and other materials she was using to make free meals for the vulnerable, even though she was not selling the food but offering it out of compassion.
In her post, she wrote, “My heart aches. Today, as I was cooking free food for the homeless people on the streets of Lagos, some uniformed men came, harassed me, bullied me, and took away everything I was cooking with. My only offence was serving love on a plate through my healthy meals.”
The video has sparked outrage across social media, with many condemning the actions of the officers and calling on authorities to investigate the incident and ensure justice is served.
