Saturday, July 13, 2024 -Actress, Toyin Abraham, has continuously found herself at the centre of controversy for publicly supporting President Bola Tinubu (then the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress) in the 2023 general elections.
Even after the election ended, social media
users were always quick to lambast her online, especially as economic hardship
worsened across the country.
The situation took a different turn earlier
in the week when Abraham allegedly got the police to arrest some persons who
she claimed had made derogatory comments about her.
A social media user, simply identified on X
as #YVRLO, had made a post where he insulted the actress and wished death on
her son.
Another X user with the username, Ayo, accused Abraham of
using ‘Tinubu’s money’ to pay for her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi’s hair tr Reacting to the backlash, Abraham stated that she did not get
anybody arrested. She stated that she only wrote a petition against the persons
involved. She said, “I only exercised my democratic right. You keep bullying
me, even after I came on social media to beg everybody to stop bullying me. As
I am here, I want to die, because people want to kill me. But, before I die, I
will die along with some people. You guys have pushed me to the wall.
“I have 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 (police’s) cybercrime department,
which I did, and I wrote a petition there.
“These people were paid to ruin my career
and life. But, I have not committed any crimes, so I am not scared. I am ready
to die, but before I die, I won’t take it easy with everybody who bullied and
defamed me.”
Meanwhile, as the controversy raged on, some
social media users called for people to submit petitions to Netflix, urging the
video streaming platform to take action against her.
However, the actress’ fans have also been
rallying behind her, stating that she was just being harassed for political
reasons.
