“No one can shut me up” – Stella Damasus reacts to alleged threats from the government

Yesterday, we reported that some hired assassins
invaded Daniel Ademonikan’s home in Abuja,
threatening to kill his alleged wife, Stella Damasus.
In a new chat with Bellanaija, Stella Damasus claimed
to be unperturbed by the threat.
She said “No matter what anyone tries to do, it will not
stop me from speaking the truth and standing up for
the rights of women and young girls.
“These are the kind of things that get people scared
and run away from standing up for their rights. It’s a
pity that we say Nigeria is a democratic country, but
where is the democracy when people cannot speak
their minds for fear of threats like this or danger of
being killed?”
Speaking further, the Actress and mother of two said, ” I
am not one of those who shout in the morning and then
at night I go behind the public and accept “Ghana must
go” from those who are causing these problems.
“We all see what is wrong and what is going on.
Shutting me up will not put an end to the issues we are
facing. If we don’t deal with these things now, what
kind of society are we leaving behind for our children
and their children?Definitely not a place where they
can live in freedom and peace.
“This is not a popularity contest but about speaking
the truth and standing up for what is right. They should
shift the focus from me and place priority on the
matters at hand, and place it on the safety of Nigerians,
rescuing the abducted girls, deleting the bill that legally
puts our little girls in the hands of paedophiles, paying
attention to the amount of women dying from domestic
violence daily, unemployment, inadequate health care,
proper education, pension funds, economic
development and all the other things that are affecting
the nation.” she concluded.
