Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has warned that she will take legal action against anyone who spreads false or malicious stories about her. Through her lawyers, Abraham posted a cease‑and‑desist notice on her X account on Thursday, citing a letter dated 5 November that targets bloggers, social‑media users, content creators and influencers.
The notice, signed by her attorney Tope Salami, describes the alleged publications as “untrue, misleading, unsubstantiated, and capable of damaging her professional personality, image, personal integrity, and general goodwill.” It orders the immediate removal of existing posts, videos, comments and other digital material deemed defamatory and cautions that continued circulation after receipt of the warning could trigger legal proceedings. The lawyer added that relevant online content may be preserved as evidence.
“Freedom of expression does not give anyone the right to spread falsehoods or unlawfully damage another person’s reputation,” the notice states.
The legal threat follows renewed online discussion after an alleged private audio recording surfaced in October 2026. The clip, reportedly involving Abraham and a TikTok user identified as Bisgold, featured comments about fellow actress Funke Akindele, but the authenticity and full context of the recording have not been independently verified.
Abraham’s representatives urged the public to exercise restraint, verify information before publishing and ensure that any future commentary about the actress is factual and supported by verifiable evidence. They warned that individuals who persist in disseminating unverified or defamatory content may face court action.
