Reactions As Police Arrest Twitter User, Toyosi Over False Kidnap, Rape Alarm

A Twitter user identified as Omo Toyosi has been arrested after raising a false kidnap and rape alarm causing fear and tension online.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported that Toyosi tweeted that she was kidnapped and was being raped at a location in Lagos causing the police to raid the location.

She wrote: “I’m being kidnapped guys. I’m being raped. Number 78 Obayan Street, Pako, Akoka, Lagos.”

However, after investigations and follow up on the case, it was confirmed that Omotoyosi was only chasing clouts with her tweet.

Toyosi released a video on Twitter later in the day, apologising for her action and calling for an end to threats to occupants of the house address she mentioned.

Nigerians however have called on agencies involved to take necessary action as her tweet was misleading and false. This has led to Omotoyosi being arrested and detained.

Omotoyosi’s arrest has stirred numerous reactions online. While many Nigerians blamed her for her action, others commended the effort of the Police for acting promptly on the matter. Some reactions gathered:

@RMbasekei: Some people don’t know there’s time for everything. So my gender now play with kidnapping and rape? Serves her right ??

@fuckerychi: Clout chasers

@TemitopeEbenez4: Community service jare, make she sweep Oshodi small

@Starboi_Mikey: Good. She never see anything. Make dem see give her one year jail term too. No b everything be cruise. U can’t b dz grown and still b daft. A lesson for all.

I follow back!!! ?❤️

@Modulus_T: It would have been a different case If she had accused someone’s son of rape. Social media demons would have set loose if the allegation was directed at male folks.

False allegations as this from opposite sex have landed many in jail.

Punishable offense should be Considered!

Also reacting after Toyosi was arrested:

@GideonAkubueze: She should be arrested and send to prison. Rubbish, do you think it’s a joke by making s7ch claims?

@Rillyd: Let her go on excursion at least to enjoy her good friday, easter Sunday and easter Monday at the maximum prisons (KiriKiri). Bring her to court on Tuesday to hear from her since she wan trend, she go trend by force. Unserious element

@IEzeugonnaya: Nice one. She should never be allowed to use any social media plat form in her life. What rubbish!

@OlublissO: If only this Omotoyosi lady knows the height of what she did today, how she has disrupted a lot of families around the mentioned area, she will be asking humans and God for forgiveness.
