Toyin Abraham threatens legal action over fake, malicious reports

Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has threatened legal action against individuals and media platforms allegedly spreading false and malicious reports about her.

Through her legal representatives, the actress issued a cease-and-desist notice dated November 5, warning bloggers, social media users, content creators and influencers against publishing or circulating unverified claims about her.

The notice, signed by her lawyer, Tope Salami, described the publications as “untrue, misleading, unsubstantiated, and capable of damaging her professional personality, image, personal integrity, and general goodwill.” Abraham also shared the document on her X account on Thursday, urging the public to read it carefully.

Her lawyers demanded that those involved immediately stop publishing, reposting, endorsing or circulating statements considered defamatory across social media and other communication platforms. They also called for the removal of existing posts, videos, comments and other materials containing the alleged false claims.

The legal representatives further warned against creating or promoting fabricated allegations and malicious insinuations intended to ridicule, harass or damage the actress’s reputation and business interests. They stated that anyone who continued spreading such claims after receiving the warning could face legal proceedings.

The notice also indicated that relevant publications, social media posts, comments, videos and other digital materials could be preserved as evidence for possible legal action. Salami added that freedom of expression did not give anyone the right to spread falsehoods or unlawfully damage another person’s reputation.

However, the authenticity and full context of the recording were not independently established. Abraham’s lawyers urged the public to verify information before publishing or commenting about her.
