Abraham emphasised that she did not arrest the user’s mother, contrary to the claims made.
She also clarified that she deleted related tweets after the issue was resolved.
The Twitter user had claimed that his mother was picked up from her shop to Panti police station but Abraham maintained that she did not initiate any arrests.

The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the boundaries of free speech and the need for responsible social media usage.
An X user Danny wrote: “Hello @toyin_abraham1, you will have to send the police to pick all of us. You are very shameless”.
Replying to him, Toyin stated that he can abuse all and call her names, and it would be okay but where she draws the line is when people curse her kids and lie.
“You can abuse and call me names; it’s fine, and as I said, I will accept and take it cos I’m in the public eyes, but cursing kids and lying is what I won’t accept, and lastly, I never and will never arrest anyone’s mother. I made a report on cybercrime as a citizen. I made my report at cybercrime cos the threat to life and curse and threat on my family were beyond what I can take, as for me, abuse me, insult me please, say anything to me please,” she responded.
The X user, Jeffery further alleged the movie star picked up her mom from her shop.
“It’s one thing to make a tweet, and you arrest me. It’s another thing to arrest me for not even making a single comment, @toyin_abraham1. You picked my mom up from her shop to Panti police station for something I didn’t even do. God will judge you,” he tweeted.
Toyin replied, : “Lying on my head comfortably now, the world won’t see this if I react how, they will say something else. I never arrested your mum. Your friend Ayo was arrested for bullying and cursing and defaming my family, and mum went there saying she won’t leave without him”.

Speed Darlington alleges use of ‘Juju’ by Portable during celebrity boxing bout
Speed Darlington alleges use of ‘Juju’ by Portable during celebrity boxing bout
Nigerian musician Darlington Okoye, widely known as Speed Darlington, has claimed that fellow singer Badmus Okikiola, popularly referred to as Portable, resorted to traditional charms—often called juju—during their weekend celebrity boxing clash.
The match took place on Saturday as part of the Chaos In The Ring series, an event hosted by Game Rush in collaboration with Balmoral Promotions. This spectacle followed similar entertainment boxing events, including a showcase in December 2024 and the February 2025 debut of Friday Fight Night.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Speed Darlington voiced suspicions over the circumstances of the fight, stating that his shoulder became dislocated even though he didn’t feel physically exhausted.

“My shoulder got dislocated, and I wasn’t even tired,” he said in the clip, implying that spiritual interference may have played a role in the outcome.
Portable was declared the winner, and the match has since stirred considerable buzz across social media platforms.
The rivalry between the two artists had intensified ahead of the bout, reportedly stemming from a disagreement over performance fees. According to circulating accounts, Speed Darlington had offered Portable ₦500,000 to perform at an event—an offer the latter allegedly found offensive.
