Jubilation as Toyin Abraham bows to pressure to release her troll, Ayo
Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has yielded to pressure from Nigerians by releasing Ayo, one of the trolls in her custody.
Earlier today, the internet was abuzz when Toyin Abraham was repeatedly called out by netizens on the micro-blogging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The mother of one faced intense criticism for detaining a troll identified as Ayo.
Her detractors took various actions, including reporting her social media accounts, contacting the streaming giant Netflix, and criticizing her political choice of supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress and Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Social media reports have confirmed that Ayo has been released from police custody. However, the actress has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident.
Recall that during and after the election, Toyin Abraham had unashamedly declared her love and support for Tinubu’s administration amidst heavy backlash.
In an interview, the mother of one cried out over the bullying, stating that she had never seen this type of trolling before in her entire life.
Toyin noted how many went the extra mile to petition her brands and urge Netflix to take down her movies. She added that she was intimidated, bullied, insulted, and cursed because she supported the now President-elect.
