Tope Alabi Takes Legal Action Over Death Allegations

Gospel singer Tope Alabi has initiated legal action against Tayo Kumuyi, known as Pastor Tayo Ministries, following social media allegations that link her to the death of fellow gospel minister Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings. Alabi's solicitors, Oakmount Legal Practitioners, issued a cease-and-desist letter on October 24, demanding the removal of the allegations published between October 20 and 24, which accused her of murder and ritual killings.

The letter emphasized that these claims are false and have damaged Alabi's reputation. It also highlighted a threatening post directed at Alabi after she warned against defamation on October 23.

The solicitors requested the removal of the disputed posts, an end to further allegations, and a public apology on the Facebook page, to remain pinned for 14 days. They warned of potential court action if their demands were not met within 24 hours and clarified that the legal notice does not impede truthful reporting or lawful investigations.
