"A young woman has suddenly lost her husband, the father of her two young children," Aigbe wrote. "Imagine the trauma of watching your husband die right before your eyes, then having to face the reality of raising your children without him."
The actress was direct in her message to those going after the widow online, insisting that bullying someone in grief is deeply cruel and unjust.
"To everyone attacking this young widow, please, have a heart. You may never fully understand what she is going through. Let us be human. Let us show compassion," she added.
Aigbe appeals to Toluwanisings' family
Beyond the online attacks, Aigbe also directed a pointed appeal at the late singer's family, urging them to pull back from publicly airing their grievances with his wife.
She argued that repeatedly granting media interviews about private family disputes only deepens the pain for everyone involved, particularly the two children left behind.
"Please stop granting interviews that expose private family matters to the public. Not every disagreement needs a microphone, and not every family issue needs to become content. Protect your son's legacy. Protect his children. Protect the dignity of the woman who was his wife," she wrote.
Aigbe acknowledged that grief is a shared experience across both sides of the family, and appealed to them to find common ground out of the public eye.
"You are all grieving the same person. Whatever the disagreements may be, I pray you can find common ground and remember what truly matters," she wrote, adding that the children deserve to grow up in an environment of love and unity rather than public conflict.
The actress' post followed a wave of social media attention directed at Toluwanisings' wife after she delivered a heartfelt speech at his night of tribute, held in Ibadan on Tuesday, October 27.
