Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham is facing backlash on social media for reporting trolls who cursed her and her family to the police for cyberbullying. Abraham had supported President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general election and has been criticized for her decision as the country's economy has declined since his inauguration. Despite her attempts to defend her choice and move on from politics, netizens continue to call her out, with some even directing harsh comments towards her family.

 

Abraham's decision to take legal action against her trolls has sparked further controversy, with some accusing her of abusing her power and using the police to silence her critics. However, her spokesman has stated that her actions are aimed at fighting cyberbullying and ensuring that online actions have consequences. The situation has sparked a wider conversation about free speech and the role of law enforcement in regulating online behavior.

 

As the debate continues, Abraham remains steadfast in her decision to report threats and harassment to the authorities, while also acknowledging the public's right to criticize her and her work. The situation highlights the challenges faced by public figures in navigating online discourse and the need for greater awareness and understanding of cyberbullying and its consequences.
