Actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has shared an update on TikToker Ojesanmi Afeez popularly known as Oloba Salo’s health condition after he was shot by gunmen in Lekki, Lagos State.

Abraham revealed that Salo’s condition is critical after undergoing four surgeries. 

She expressed gratitude for the swift medical attention he received and the financial support from colleagues, including Zlatan, Mkiddo, and Abu Abel.

During a live session with media personality Uncle Tunde Perry, Abraham shared that the initial hospital bill of N12 million was quickly covered by the celebrity community.

She emphasised that Salo’s health issue was more severe than imagined, detailing how four to six surgeons treated him.

She said: “That N12m is like first aid. I’m not going to lie. The hospital did something impressive. They had been treating him before we got there. Guys, do you guys think Salo’s health issue was small. Life is different from social media. I was crying like a baby. Mkido turned to Alfa immediately.”

“Even Lagos state DPO visited us in the hospital. I could not share this on social media. The first payment the hospital asked from us was N12 million.

“Mkido, Zlatan, Tekunbi, Abati, Abu Abel, and others quickly dropped money. I just know that God has something for Salo’s life. 

“You are not aware of what happened to Salo because we did not share it on social media. It was terrible. I saw it with my eyes. He was on life support, which was making sounds here and there. I saw bullets. He undergo four surgeries and was carried out by about 4 to 6 surgeons.”

Actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has responded to allegations of owing an online fashion designer millions. 

Toyin dismissed the claims as a “complete misunderstanding” and untrue details.

The designer took to social media to vent frustrations over alleged unpaid debts totalling millions, implicating Toyin Abraham, Annie Idibia and Gabriel Anthony.

“@toyin_abraham @annieidibial @gabrielanthonys, my patience is running out already. 1 year and 2 months. How can you be with someone’s millions and feel so reluctant,”  the fashion designer wrote.

However, Toyin Abraham clarified the situation on Instagram, revealing that the dresses in question were borrowed for her production, Malaika and returned to Gabriel Anthony.

Gabriel Anthony corroborated Toyin’s account, confirming that he informed the designer the dresses had been returned and borrowed by someone else.

“Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations about an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood. During the production of Malaika, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, including Tiannah, to provide the dresses.

“Additionally, Gabriel, who was part of the team, mentioned that a friend of his also wanted to contribute some dresses, and she did. I even bought a hairpiece from her, for which I paid in full. As for the dresses she provided, they were borrowed for the shoot, and once we finished using them, I handed them back to Gabriel, who brought them to us.

“Upon seeing the online allegations online, I called Gabriel immediately for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him and subsequently borrowed by someone else. Therefore, it is no longer my responsibility. I hope this clears the confusion,” the actress wrote.

This visit followed intense backlash against her, with some calling for her movies to be removed from Netflix.

Veteran actor Yinka Quadri has called for unity in the entertainment industry to address the growing concern of cyberbullying and harassment. 

He emphasised the need for a collective voice to tackle false accusations, libel, and slander, and possibly hire a legal team to protects celebrities’ rights. 

Quadri highlighted that celebrities are human beings with feelings, not robots, and deserve respect and protection from emotional blackmail.

He shared his personal experience of a fake death report being spread by a toxic individual, stressing that celebrities should be able to take action to safeguard their mental well-being without being accused of bullying or abuse of power. 

Quadri wrote on Instagram: “It’s high time for Nollywood and the entertainment sector in general to come together and have a voice. We need to tackle false accusations, libel and slander. If possible, we get a legal team.

Emotional blackmail is no joke. Celebrities are not robots; people need to remember that we are human with feelings too.

“It should be noted that “One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.

“To be before warned is to be before harmed”…

“Public figures have the right to freedom of choice and of expression, right to vote/or support a candidate of choice in any election… Making political decisions shouldn’t warrant cyberbullying and harassment

“Just of recently, a fake report of my death was posted by a toxic person … If I now arrest such an individual and take further action, people will say it’s bully and an abuse of power…

“Celebrities are often violated in ways that are considered inhumane and awful.

“So, therefore, celebrities should be free to take proper action to protect their mental space…Kind regards”.

Quadri’s appeal comes amid the recent bullying of Toyin Abraham on social media, underscoring the urgent need for industry solidarity and action against online harassment.

Big Brother Naija star Tacha has defended Toyin Abraham, who faced backlash for supporting the All Progressive Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.

Tacha questioned why Abraham continues to be bullied and criticized for her political choices, emphasizing that everyone has the right to support their preferred candidate.

She also clarified the controversy around Abraham’s reported involvement with the police and a troll, stating that writing a petition is a legitimate action and does not necessarily involve using the police to silence critics.

“Personally, I don’t understand the constant bullying of someone for picking their candidate of choice. In the same way, you have picked your choice of candidate, everybody has the right to pick their choice of candidate. The same way you saw qualities in your candidate is the same way that other people saw them.

“I really don’t understand the constant, steady bullying based on the candidate she chose to support. Let’s not act naive… If you write a petition to the police and the person that you’ve written the petition against refuses to honour the police invitation, they will pick him up. This has nothing to do with whether Toyin Abraham is a public figure or not, or if you’re just a regular citizen,” Tacha explained.

She added: “You people are the same people who dragged the Nigerian police for not taking Mohbad’s petition seriously; now they are taking it seriously and you are saying that they are using the Nigerian police.

“Now with everyone dragging Toyin Abraham, I want to know what her impact was on last year’s election. Would our president still be our president without Toyin Abraham? Yes!!”

Actress and producer Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has issued a strong warning against cyberbullying, committing to take a stand against online trolls and harassers.

In an emotional Instagram Live session, Abraham declared she would no longer tolerate abusive behaviour and death threats directed at her and her family.

The actress, who has endured intense online harassment for over a year, warned her harassers that she is prepared to take legal action and fight back against their vicious attacks.

‘’You can’t accuse me wrongly and expect me not to say anything. I will not arrest anyone’s mum. I never arrested anyone’s mother. It is a different thing when you commit a crime. It is a different thing when you are a criminal, you do something bad and people are dragging you and you know you have done something bad. I have not committed any crime. I have only exercised my democratic rights and they keep b#llying me. I came on social media to beg everybody to leave me the hell alone.
