In an emotional Instagram post shared on November 20, 2025, Abraham captured the collective anxiety felt by mothers across Nigeria. The actress articulated the special kind of fear that accompanies motherhood in a nation grappling with persistent security challenges.

National Wounds That Won't Heal
The actress described the Kwara church attack as a deep wound that resonates with every mother in the country. She stressed that the pain of such incidents doesn't simply disappear when media attention shifts to other stories.
