Veteran Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun has shown support for his colleague Toyin Abraham Ajewole, who is facing challenges with online trolls.
While other colleagues have remained silent on the matter, Balogun has spoken out against those trolling Abraham, pointing out their hypocrisy.
He argues that everyone has used the police to arrest others for minor offenses, but when it involves a celebrity, it becomes a case of bullying.
Balogun defends his fellow celebrities, stating that they should be able to take action without judgment, just as netizens are free to express their opinions.
“You use police to arrest your neighbours for the most minor reasons, e reach celebrity turn, you say it’s bully.
Stop the emotional blackmail. Celebrities are human, just like you. You are free to say what you like, right? Let celebrities be free to take whatever actions to protect their mental space. Freedom should not be selective. God bless”.
