Tuesday 7th December 2021: Controversial Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has called out her colleague, Halima Abubakar, urging her to name the bullies in the Nigerian movie industry.
Dikeh said this in response to Abubakar’s Instagram post on monday, where she revealed that there were bullies in Nollywood, and she’d name all of them.
Abubakar’s post on Monday, was in regards to the viral case of a student’s death in Dowen college, Lagos, stating that she was a victim of bullying, adding that bullies were also in Nollywood.
The said student, 11-year-old Sylvester Oromoni, died last week as a result of the injuries he sustained while he was allegedly tortured by bullies in his school.
Abubakar wrote, “The perpetrators should be brought out and justice served so Sylvester can have closure and finally rest in peace.
“Bullying is actually rampant. They keep covering it up. I’m a ‘border’ and I know how schools cover crimes in boarding schools.”
She added, “Kindly stop and talk to your kids. Many more are hidden. Look, even in Nollywood, we have bullies and I will name them all.”
Tonto Dikeh took to her Instagram page in response to Abubakar claims, asking Abubakar to name the bullies so that people can know them and “say hi to them.”
“Hallibooboo, stop tensioning us, abeg. My friend, no be everytime you want give us gist, you go come listen to people wey go tell you say you big pass this thing. Give us gist,” Tonto Dikeh wrote in Pidgin.
She added, “Name names jor, let us know and say hi to them.”
