In a passionate Instagram post, she expressed her disappointment and concern over the normalization of such acts, questioning how society has reached a point where these heinous acts are celebrated.
"The sickening thing here is that social media is not even helping matters; they hype and take sides with this evil with reasons that are never justifiable," Edochie stated, emphasizing the need for accountability and protection of minors.
She called on parents, communities, influencers and platforms to take responsibility and put an end to the glorification of evil, especially involving minors.¹
