Popular Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has joined the growing calls for justice following the alleged arrest and detention** of Sammy West, the brother of fellow actress Regina Daniels.
Taking to her Instagram story, Mercy Johnson voiced her outrage over the situation, describing it as “the worst form of injustice.”
According to her, Sammy was arrested in Lagos and flown to Abuja, where he has allegedly been denied access to both his family and legal counsel for two days.
She further claimed that he was taken directly to court from the airport without due process.
“The worst form of injustice is pretended justice. A child was arrested, and no one 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?”
The actress concluded her post with the hashtags #WhereIsSamuel and #FreeSamuelOjeagwu, urging authorities to release Sammy and ensure transparency and fairness in the case.
The development has sparked massive reactions on social media, with fans, activists, and fellow celebrities rallying behind Mercy Johnson’s call for justice and accountability over the alleged unlawful detention.
