Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has recounted a hallowing experience of how fake news nearly destroyed her life.
The filmmaker, in a recent interview on the ‘Nollywood on Radio’ podcast, disclosed that she almost poisoned herself after a false rumour spread about her.
According to the actress cum filmmaker, she went as far as starving herself intentionally for seven days, unable to leave her home.
Ajao further stated that her son and other family members intervened and encouraged her to defend herself.
“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 that I had been faced with something so painful that I could not eat for seven days. I did not go anywhere. People around me can testify to it,” she said.
“My sisters were calling, telling me, ‘You have to do this for yourself. You do not have to poison yourself.’ My son was reaching out to everyone that I was struggling with the online lies.”
