Actress, Omoni Oboli has recounted her battle with trauma after the shooting at unarmed #EndSARS protesters by soldiers in Lagos state.
The shooting at the protesters, which occurred at the Lekki toll gate axis of the state on October 20, has continued to attract criticisms from Nigerians
In an extensive Instagram post on Tuesday, the award-winning actress recounted how the occurrence left her worried for days.
The ‘Oloture ‘ actress said the shooting made her ill psychologically.
In her word:”Healing does not mean the pain stops existing. It means the pain doesn’t control your life anymore,” she wrote, quoting a line from ‘The Stars Are Ageless’, her book.
“It’s been one week and I’ve been through it all. I’ve been emotionally, psychologically, physically, so violently ill to the point that I’ve puked out bile.
“I’ve barely slept in this one week and I’m sure many have felt it or are feeling this way but it’s time for healing.
“I’ve had to make a conscious decision to start the healing process because staying in this state just triggers more panic and anxiety attacks (I literally felt like I was dying many times).”
She enjoined others battling similar situation to embark on a healing process by reaching out to people for help.
“So I’m starting my healing process and I advice you all to because we are useless to humanity in this state. What we all experienced is very insane and most of us will suffer from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),” she added.
Oboli also urged those who lost their loved ones as well properties amid the turbulence trailing the protests to brace up.
“To all who lost property and livelihood to looters. God sees. He will restore 7 fold! Just watch and see him give you double for your trouble!” she added.
