Here’s why #Toyosi was trending on twitter.
On Thursday, April 14, a young lady named Toyosi was arrested by the police in Lagos after faking her kidnap and raped just for clout.
The lady had earlier raised the alarm that she was being kidnapped and raped at number 78 Obayan Street, Pako, Akoka, Lagos, and needed help desperately.
She dropped a mobile phone number alleged to be that of her attacker shortly afterwards for people to call and trace him in case worse things happen to her.
Concerned Nigerians on twitter alerted the police in a bid to rescue Toyosi.
Nevertheless, Toyosi was seen hours later on line with a tweet that says, she was fine and that people should stop threatening or calling the number.
Toyo however posted another tweet with a video saying,
“I posted earlier that I was kidnapped and raped. It’s false. I’m so sorry for this. Please stop calling and threatening the numbers.”
