Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has debunked the reports making the rounds on social media that she ordered the arrest of a Twitter user over a viral AI-generated picture of herself.
The picture, displaying her face dimmed, triggered harassment and backlash, with certain users blaming her for skin lightening.
A Twitter user, ScoobyDoo, ridiculed her based on the picture and subsequently stated he was arrested and held at Area F in Ikeja for his remarks.
Reacting to the purported report, in a statement issued on her page, Moyo said that she wouldn’t infringe on someone’s rights regarding a humorous picture.

Moyo wrote, “I did not arrest any rat. Rest assured, if I do arrest any rat, the animal or animals will rot away in prison for the rest of their lives.
Oppression is not my line of defence. Why would I take away A RAT’s fundamental human right because of something as frivolous as an opinion over an AI-generated April Fool’s joke image representing me falsely for laughs?
“If I do want to arrest someone, I kinda feel like we all know who, I would have arrested a long time ago. I am just tired of this whole narrative…
O ti su mi, every week some NEW FALSE narrative why the OBSESSION… please let me breathe. “Let the poor breathe.”
Let’s remember to ask for facts when we see all these foolish RUMORS from rats. This social media funds legit be turning humans to animals,” she said.
