I almost poisoned myself over fake news – Eniola Ajao

Popular Yoruba actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has shared that false news on social media nearly drove her to the point of self-poisoning.

Speaking in a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, Ajao recounted how the fake news caused her intense emotional distress and led her to withdraw from social activities.

“I almost poisoned myself because of news about me on social media that was far from true. It was the first time in my life to faced something so painful that I couldn’t eat for seven days. I didn’t go anywhere. People around me can testify to it.

“My sisters were calling, telling me, ‘You have to do this for yourself. You don’t have to poison yourself.’ My son was reaching out to everyone that I was struggling with the online lies.”
