She wrote:
“My heart aches. Today, as I was cooking free food for the vulnerable and homeless people on the streets of Lagos, like I always do, some uniformed men came there, harassed me, bullied me, and took away the food I was cooking, my cooking gas, and everything I was using.
My only offence was serving love on a plate through my healthy meals. I am not a chef, and I do not cook for a living.”
Sarah explained that her initiative was purely driven by compassion and aimed at supporting vulnerable groups. She called on relevant authorities to investigate the incident and ensure justice, stressing that her intention was simply to promote goodwill in the community.
She also shared a video of her injured hand, expressing pain and disbelief over what she described as an unprovoked attack.
