The controversy started when an AI-generated photo surfaced on social media showing the actress with a darkened face, sparking harsh criticism and accusations of skin bleaching online.
Following this, a Twitter user named ScoobyDoo mocked her and later claimed that he was detained at a police station in Ikeja because of the mockery post.
However, Moyo Lawal completely rubbished these claims in a statement shared on her official Instagram page.
She explained that she would never take away fundamental rights because of a frivolous opinion over a joke image.
Writing a public statement to her followers, the actress strongly distanced herself from the entire police saga, declaring that she "did not arrest any rat.”
Moyo added that if she truly wanted to use the police on anyone, she already had a known target in mind.
She pointed out that she is completely exhausted by these constant false narratives, expressing frustration with the endless obsession over her life.
The actress then urged the public to always demand actual facts rather than quickly spreading foolish rumours from social media trolls.
Finally, she begged her detractors to leave her alone, telling them to let her breathe.
