Nollywood actress and box office Queen Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi was left taken aback after some Corp members in Oyo State stormed her movie set to show support for her.
In videos making rounds online, the movie star was captured riding a horse as she met with the corp members, who were excited to see her. According to reports online, the corp members had visited her to show solidarity with the actress following the draggings she has been receiving on social media.
Refreshing your memory, early this week, Toyin was under heat for arresting one of her trolls and leaving him in police custody for some time. One of the trolls had accused the actress of detaining his mother, a claim the actress denied by stating that the said mother refused to leave the police station due to her son’s arrest.
Following this, Nigerians massively reported her to the streaming platform Netflix for her movies to be taken down. Netizens urged the streaming platform to boycott her movies and take a firm stance against her behaviour.
Many of her colleagues had shown support for her. Taking the lead, Veteran Saidi Balogun slammed those trolling her, as he noted everyone used the police to arrest their neighbours for the smallest offence but made it a bullying case when it involved a celebrity. Saidi described their behaviour as an emotional blackmail.
Biola Bayo spoke about how she had tried to contact Toyin several times but to no avail. The mother of one prayed that God would stand by and strengthen Toyin Abraham in this difficult time.
Alesh Sanni had noted how some Nigerians are on another level of bitterness and are frustrated souls looking for who to recruit into their fucking frustrations. He noted how they bullied Toyin to the extent of cursing her child and instigating death on a young, innocent soul, and yet when she arrested him, they attacked her.
Afeez Owo had reshared a post from Yinka Quadri where he urged all actors to unite and take a stance against bullying, noting how emotional blackmail is no joke.
Allwell Ademola, on her part, had noted the double standards on social media. She stated that sometimes she wonders why it is okay to bully celebrities, but when they react, they are being tagged as petty and bullies.
