Tope Alabi threatens legal action against Pastor Kumuyi

Gospel singer Tope Alabi has issued a legal threat against Pastor Tayo Kumuyi, demanding he retract allegations linking her to the death of fellow gospel artist Toluwanisings. In a cease-and-desist letter dated October 24, 2026, from Oakmount Legal Practitioners, Alabi's lawyers accused Kumuyi of making false claims of murder and ritual killing on his Facebook page, Pastor Tayo Ministries, between October 20 and 24.

They stated that Alabi had mourned Toluwanisings publicly and privately and had no involvement in his death or that of any other gospel ministers. The letter warned that framing the claims as spiritual messages would not protect Kumuyi from liability, and his residence in Canada would not prevent legal action due to the posts reaching a Nigerian audience.

Alabi's lawyers demanded the removal of the posts, a public apology pinned for 14 days, and indicated that failure to comply would lead to court action for an injunction, damages, and complaints to Meta Platforms and law enforcement. At the time of reporting, there was no response from Kumuyi's page.
