Key Points:
- Dayo Amusa first vowed to file a strong case. She said a clip hurt her name and work.
- Police held the TikToker for two days in Panti. He later shared how hard the cell felt.
- Amusa has now dropped the petition after an apology. She says the false claim must still stop.
Dayo Amusa has called time on her police case. She has withdrawn her petition against the TikToker who said she had HIV. The star made the move after the man said sorry in public. He also pulled down the clip and cleared her name.
The issue blew up weeks ago online. A video named her on a list of “stars with HIV.” Amusa said the claim was false and harsh. She vowed to make the maker a lesson.
How the row began and grew
The clip went round fast on TikTok. It put Amusa at number three on a list. She said she had shared a past test as “negative.” She did that to push her fans to test too.
Soon after, she spoke in a firm video note. She said she would not let the smear stand. “You will be a scape goat,” she warned the maker back then. Fans backed her stand in the comments.
Arrest, cell tale, and a public apology
Police picked up the TikToker in Lagos. He spent two days in the Yaba Panti cell. He later said it was the worst time of his life. “I was locked up for two days,” he said.
After he left, the man said he was sorry. He said the video was wrong and untrue. He added that Amusa does not have HIV. He promised to fix the harm with clean posts.
Amusa lets the case go, but sets a clear line
Now, Amusa has withdrawn her petition to police. She chose to move on after the apology. Still, she warned that false clips can ruin lives. She said content makers must fact-check before they post.
The Nollywood scene has seen such rows of late. A recent talk on pay and lifestyle also trended. See how a veteran weighed in with Yemi Solade’s G-Wagon claim. The chat drew wide takes across film fans.
Amusa’s calm end may cool the storm. But the case still shows how fast lies spread. It also shows why stars now move quick to respond. For more Nollywood buzz, read this livelyRegina Daniels values debate.
What Amusa wants fans to know
Amusa again set the record straight for all. She said she is HIV-negative, as she shared before. She said fans should get tested and know their state. She also asked the press to share the truth.
Online, many fans praised her soft call. They said the move shows grace and class. Some asked that the maker learn from this. They said a quest for clicks should not harm lives
