Twitter Users Call For Arrest Of Lady Who Raised False Kidnap, Rape Alarm

Nigerian Twitter users are calling for the arrest and prosecution of a lady identified as Toyosi after she raised a false alarm of being kidnapped and raped for clout-chasing.

On Thursday morning, Toyosi on her Twitter handle @_misteriouss, claimed that she was being kidnapped and raped at number 78 Obayan Street, Pako, Akoka, Lagos, and needed help desperately.

She also dropped the phone number of her alleged kidnapper and abuser.

To avoid a repeat of the case of late Dr. Chinelo, the lady who was mocked after she tweeted about being shot on the Abuja-Kaduna train, Twitter users alerted the police and they were swift to deploy men of the force to the address.

It, however, turned out to be a false alarm.

Toyosi herself confirmed in a tweet and a video that her distress call was in fact, fake.

"I tweeted earlier that I was kidnapped and raped.

"It's false. I'm so sorry for this. Please stop calling and threatening the numbers," she tweeted.

Twitter users waited to be sure she didn't tweet out of distress before calling for her arrest for misleading the public with a sensitive matter like rape.

Enraged netizens added that the young lady should be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to try such in the future.

Chinelo did not die in pain and shame for Toyosi to chase clout with insecurity.
There should be serious actions taken.

If Omotoyosi can't prove she's was kidnapped and raped, she should be arrested, charged, tried, and jailed. This is the minimum. pic.twitter.com/IHwvPxxGJO

That Toyosi girl needs to be made a serious scapegoat of with that stupid clout she was chasing with a sensitive matter. It is idiots like her who makes it harder for actual victims to be believable.

Toyosi acted silly & should be punished for it, but so are a lot of people (especially the supposed influencers) who have used sensitive issues to chase clout; I see a few of 'em calling out Toyosi. The hypocrisy st!nks. Don't act all self-righteous when convenient, check urself.

As Toyosi submits herself to the Nigerian criminal justice system which has been looking for a way to prove a point to the youths, may the lord accept her sacrifice of worship.

Church say amen.

If Toyosi is not dealt with, most people won’t take urgent r*pe case or harassment serious online, especially when it needs quick response.
