Comedian, Seyi Law apologises over ‘Nigeria is safer now’ comment 

Comedian Seyi Law has issued a public apology after facing criticism for his recent claim that Nigeria is now safer than it was a decade ago.

In a video addressing the backlash, he acknowledged that his comments made on The Honest Bunch podcast, where he questioned whether kidnappings were a new issue and suggested an improvement in the country’s security, were insensitive.

Seyi Law expressed regret for the hurt caused, particularly to those who have personally suffered from kidnappings and insecurity. He stated, “I’m not too proud to apologize when I make a mistake,” emphasizing that he has a record of owning up to his errors publicly.

He reminded his audience of a previous occasion on the same podcast when he quickly apologized for incorrectly stating the political party of Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.

The comedian clarified that he did not mean to minimize the experiences of victims, but he understands now that his words may have seemed dismissive.

He sincerely regrets his statement and extends his apologies to anyone affected by it. He concluded by committing to continue discussions with government officials to advocate for better security, reiterating his heartfelt apology for his earlier  comments.
