Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has once again captured public attention, this time for a heartwarming reason.
Days after her arrest in Lagos for cooking on a public road, the actress was spotted in Ottawa, Canada, distributing food to homeless people.
In a viral video, Sarah was seen handing out over 150 packs of meals to those in need, smiling and interacting warmly with recipients. The outreach, which came shortly after her controversial incident in Nigeria, has generated mixed reactions among fans and followers.
Sharing clips of the event on Instagram, the actress expressed excitement and gratitude over the experience, revealing that the meals were prepared in collaboration with Suyaroyale and Ricci Products.
“From going grocery shopping, to cooking with the CEO of suyaroyale under the supervision of ricci_products representatives, to sharing the sumptuous, well-spiced 150 packs of food with homeless people on the streets of Ottawa,” she wrote.

Despite the divided opinions, many hailed the actress’s gesture as a sign of growth and resilience, commending her for turning past controversy into a positive act of charity.
