Yvonne Jegede, a Nollywood actress and filmmaker, has called for the release of social media blogger Justice Crack, stating that his incarceration is becoming "embarrassing."

Jegede admitted in a video message that Justice Crack had acted improperly since civilians shouldn't meddle in military affairs.

We now realize that he made a mistake. Additionally, we now realize that civilians shouldn't meddle in military matters. We acknowledge that," she remarked.

"I'm here to ask that he be released back to his family on behalf of his wife, children, and acquaintances. Send him home, please," she continued.

"It's getting embarrassing that this is where we have to show off our strength; that being said, keep in mind that times are difficult; it is quite unfair and inhumane to take a breadwinner from his family," she remarked.
