Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has denied the allegations that she illegally arrested an X user and his mother for defaming her, stating that she is prepared to die.
During an Instagram live session on July 10, 2024, the actress responded to the rapidly spreading rumors, emphasizing that she did not arrest anyone’s mother as claimed.
She began, “I said I wasn’t going to say anything anymore, but there are some things that you can’t accuse me wrongly of and expect me not to say something. I would not arrest anybody’s mum because I have a mother as well. I never arrested anyone’s mother. I have not committed any crime and I have only exercised my democratic rights, and they keep bullying me.”
Expressing profound frustration with the online backlash, Abraham conveyed extreme distress and declared her willingness to die and take those who defame or bully her with her.
“I came online on social media to beg everybody to leave me the hell alone. As I am, I want to die. I am ready to die, but before I die, a lot of you bullies will die with me. You bullies have pushed me to the wall and I have gone insane. Now I want to die; I wish to die; I did not commit any crimes; I came out to beg you guys and tell you that I did not collect any money from anybody,” she continued.
Responding to the recent claims on social media, the movie producer emphasized that she did not arrest anyone; instead, she filed a petition against the social media users who defamed her.
She explained, “I’ve had it up to here because you people cursed my child, but I did not arrest anybody’s mother. I simply wrote a petition, and they said I should go to the cybercrime department, which I did, and I wrote a petition there. The only reason I didn’t put Anthony was because he didn’t defame me; he only insulted me and I insulted him too. The truth would come out soon.”
“These people were paid to ruin my career and ruin my life, but I have not committed any crimes so I’m not scared. I am ready to die but before I die I will make sure that I won’t take it easy on everybody who bullied me and defamed me,” she cried.
“If you want to curse me, curse me. Tell me, I will die. Kill me. Do whatever you want to do to me. Those children did not even do anything. Enough is enough. I won’t take it again,” she said.
It is important to note that Toyin Abraham has repeatedly faced criticism and backlash on social media since openly supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. She has warned people against insulting and cursing her and her children.
In June 2024, she publicly pleaded for people to stop cursing her children.
