Toyin Abraham Faces Backlash Over Alleged Involvement in Social Media Arrest
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.

From Bus Conductor to Nollywood Star: Ibrahim Chatta Reveals His Tough Journey
Nollywood star Ibrahim Chatta recently opened up about the difficult path he had to take before finding success in the movie industry.
In a conversation on the Talk to B Podcast, hosted by fellow actress Biola Bayo, Ibrahim detailed the immense challenges he faced while trying to survive in Lagos.
Sharing a glimpse of his early life, the talented actor revealed that he once lived in a cramped single-room apartment with nine other people.
The struggle to make ends meet was so intense that he often walked long distances, particularly from Agege to Ikeja.
For eight years, Ibrahim worked tirelessly as a bus conductor, moving through some of Lagos’ busiest routes, such as Iyana Oba, Oshodi, and Lagos Island (popularly known as Eko).
“I’ve worked from Iyana Oba to Oshodi, then Eko. It wasn’t easy,” he confessed. “I’ve worked so hard in life. May God crown my effort.”
Lagos, known for its vibrant yet chaotic transport system, is not an easy place to hustle, especially as a conductor.
The routes Ibrahim mentioned are some of the most hectic in the city. For context, Iyana Oba is a bustling area near the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, known for its gridlocks and crowds.
Oshodi, a major transport hub, is infamous for its chaos, with buses, traders, and commuters filling every available space.
Meanwhile, Eko (Lagos Island) represents the heart of the city’s business activities, full of daily hustlers trying to earn a living.
