Nollywood Actress Sarah Martins Apologises For Roadside Cooking

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has issued a public apology after being cautioned by the Lagos State Government for cooking on the roadside while distributing food to vulnerable children.

The actress had shared videos online showing herself preparing meals on the street for underprivileged children, a gesture that initially drew praise from some members of the public.

However, authorities reportedly warned that cooking by the roadside violates environmental and public safety regulations in Lagos State.

Following the warning, Martins released a statement apologising for the incident, explaining that her intention was simply to support and feed children in need.

She said she did not intend to break any laws and promised to find more appropriate ways to continue her humanitarian efforts in line with government regulations.

The development has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some Nigerians commending her charitable intentions while others stressed the importance of complying with public safety rules.

Officials have reiterated the need for individuals and organisations carrying out charity activities to do so in approved locations to ensure public health and safety.
