Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has threatened legal action against individuals and media platforms allegedly spreading false and defamatory claims 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 information 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, urging members of the public to read its contents carefully.
In the notice, her lawyers demanded that those responsible immediately cease publishing, reposting, endorsing or circulating statements considered defamatory against the actress across social media platforms and other communication channels.
The development comes amid renewed online discussions involving 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, triggering reactions over comments reportedly made about Akindele.
However, the authenticity of the recording and its full context have not been independently established.
Abraham’s legal representatives also urged members of the public to exercise restraint, verify information before publishing it and ensure that any future commentary about the actress is factual and supported by verifiable evidence.
