Nigerian skit guru Sabinus experienced the dark side of Twitter Nigeria (NG) when he was compelled to delete a funny skit he posted on his Twitter handle.

The video, which was posted in the early hours of Monday, June 6, 2022, had to be taken down after Nigerians on Twitter descended on him for failing to add his voice to the ongoing conversation about the recent killing of several members of St Catholic Church in Owo LGA, Ondo State.

He also rendered an apology to the Nigeria netizens confessing that it was not deliberate but rather an oversight.

Despite all these attempts to make amends, some Nigerians on the bird app still insisted that his sympathy was not genuine.

This did not deter the 2022 Africa Movie Viewers Choice Awards winner from reposting his skit afterwards.

YEN reported that there was an explosion prior to the attack, with the unsuspecting victims of the attack fleeing for their lives. The pandemonium caused by this confusion resulted in several people getting injured, amidst a number of casualties.
