Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has called for justice following the alleged arrest and detention of Sammy West, the brother of actress Regina Daniels.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, Mercy expressed outrage over the reported circumstances surrounding Sammy’s detention, describing it as “the worst form of injustice.”
According to her, the young man was arrested and flown from Lagos to Abuja, but has been denied access to family or legal representation for two days. She also alleged that he was taken straight to court from the airport.
“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice. A child was arrested, no one can or has been allowed to see him for two days,” Mercy wrote. “He was flown from Lagos to Abuja and allegedly taken to court from the airport. How did we get here, Nigeria?”
She ended her post with the hashtags #WhereIsSamuel and #FreeSamuelOjeagwu, calling for his immediate release and transparency in the case.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians joining Mercy Johnson in demanding justice and accountability over the alleged unlawful detention.
