Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham, has threatened legal action against individuals and media platforms allegedly 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 legal notice on her X account on Thursday, calling on members of the public to read it carefully.
Her lawyers urged those involved to immediately stop publishing, reposting, endorsing or circulating alleged defamatory statements about the actress across social media platforms and other communication channels.
They also demanded the removal of existing posts, videos, comments and other materials containing statements considered false or defamatory.
The legal representatives further cautioned against creating or promoting fabricated allegations, malicious insinuations and content intended to ridicule, harass or damage the actress’s reputation and business interests.
The notice warned that individuals who continued to circulate or amplify such claims after receiving the warning could face legal proceedings.
It stated that relevant publications, social media posts, comments, videos and other digital materials could be preserved as evidence for possible legal action.
The lawyer added that freedom of expression did not give anyone the right to spread falsehoods or unlawfully damage another person’s reputation.
The legal action comes amid renewed online discussions surrounding 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, sparking reactions over comments reportedly made about Akindele.
However, the authenticity and full context of the recording were not independently established.
Abraham’s lawyers urged members of the public to exercise restraint, verify information before publication and ensure that future commentary about the actress is factual and supported by verifiable evidence.
