Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has issued a legal letter through her lawyers to Liz Anjorin over defamation and alleged threat to life.
The actress had over the weekend vowed to sue her colleague Lizzy Anjorin who had alleged that Toyin was responsible for her ordeals at an international airport.
She had written:
It has come as a rude shock that some upstarts masquerading as Nollywood actors keep dragging my name into unnecessary drama whenever they are trolled online. I’ve had my own share of online trolling but not for once did I drag the names of any actor or celebrities into the fray even when we don’t have cordial relationships.
Today, an actress directly mentioned my name as the owner or informant of an Instagram blog, and libeled my person and reputation by implying I planted or published some negative news about her.
Why she mentioned my name, I can’t say. What she’s trying to achieve, I can’t fathom. Long ago, I bade bye bye to unnecessary drama and petty online/offline squabbles and so I won’t descend to her gutter level.
Her so-called “evidence” of my involvement was a comment I left on the page of a fan she suspected is behind the story. How I became connected to the story beats me. This level of cluelessness is mind-boggling.For the umpteenth time, stop holding me responsible for the actions or inactions of other people as it concerns you. Whether they are my fans or not, I don’t regulate or determine their behaviour or conduct. Nobody holds Beyonce responsible for what her teeming fans, “Beyhives” do.
Anyways, I have instructed my lawyers to take up this matter and she will be hearing from them by Monday. It’s time to put a stop to online bullying and bad behaviour in line with the rule of law.

While responding to her post on Saturday, Toyin vowed not to drag words with Lizzy, but rather she would be hearing from her lawyers – this she has just fulfilled
From the letter from her lawyers, Lizzy Anjorin is mandated to tender an apology to Toyin and at the same time take down her defamatory post from her Instagram page.
