Toyin Abraham Threatens Legal Action Over Alleged False Stories
Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has threatened legal action against individuals and media platforms accused of spreading false and malicious stories about her.
The actress, through her legal representatives, 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 shared the notice on her X account on Thursday, urging members of the public to read its contents carefully.
Her lawyers demanded that those involved immediately stop publishing, reposting, endorsing or circulating statements considered defamatory. They also called for the removal of existing posts, videos, comments and other digital materials containing the alleged false claims.
The legal representatives warned that individuals who continued to circulate or amplify such material after receiving the notice could face legal proceedings. They added that relevant online publications and other digital records could be preserved as evidence for possible court action.
The notice also cautioned against creating or promoting fabricated allegations and malicious insinuations intended to ridicule, harass or damage the actress’s reputation and business interests.
The development comes amid renewed online discussions involving Abraham and fellow Nollywood actress Funke Akindele.
In October 2026, an alleged private audio conversation involving Abraham and a TikTok user identified as Bisgold circulated online. The recording reportedly generated reactions over comments attributed to Abraham about Akindele.
However, the authenticity and full context of the recording have not been independently established.
Abraham’s lawyers urged members of the public to exercise restraint and verify information before publishing or sharing claims about the actress.
