Nollywood actress and producer Toyin Abraham has stirred controversy online after being accused of orchestrating the arrest of a social media user and his mother over defamation. During an Instagram live session, Abraham denied these claims, asserting that she had instead filed a petition against cyberbullies who had defamed her online. She explained that she felt compelled to take action due to persistent online bullying, particularly following her public support for President Bola Tinubu during the recent elections.

The incident has sparked a polarizing debate on social media, with some supporting Abraham’s stance against cyberbullying, while others criticize her for perceived censorship and intimidation tactics. This controversy has triggered broader discussions about the boundaries of free speech on social media and the responsibilities of public figures in safeguarding their reputations.

Amidst the backlash, social media users have taken various actions, from threatening to report Abraham’s Instagram page en masse to Netflix, to calling for a boycott of her movies on streaming platforms. Public figures like reality TV star Natacha Akide and comedian Adebowale Adedayo (Mr Macaroni) have weighed in, with Akide urging Nigerians to respect differing opinions and Mr Macaroni cautioning against the misuse of influence to circumvent legal processes.
