Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has claimed she was assaulted by uniformed officers while distributing free meals to homeless individuals in Lagos.
The actress took to Instagram to share her experience, revealing that while in the middle of her community outreach, officers believed to be from the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) task force, confronted her.
According to Sarah, the officers harassed her, seized her cooking equipment and food supplies, and disrupted the charitable exercise.
She also posted a video showing her injured hand, expressing pain and disbelief over what she described as an unprovoked attack.
In her post, she wrote, “My heart aches. Today, as I was cooking free food for the vulnerable and homeless people on the streets of Lagos, like I always do, some uniformed men came there, harassed me, bullied me, and took away the food I was cooking, my cooking gas, and everything I was using.
“My only offence was serving love on a plate through my healthy meals. I am not a chef, and I do not cook for a living.”
The actress emphasized that her outreach was purely an act of kindness aimed at supporting people in need.
She further called on relevant authorities to investigate the incident and ensure justice is served, stressing that her intentions were only to help the homeless and promote goodwill in the community.
