Nollywood actress and director Toyin Abraham has addressed the allegations that her most recent film, Malaika, was leaked online.
Five people were reportedly arrested by Lagos police on Tuesday, January 16, in relation to the alleged piracy of Toyin Abraham’s most recent film, Malaika.
In a recent Instagram post, the actress claimed that her movie had been released online three days into the new year.
According to Toyin Abraham, her team moved quickly to address the matter.
Even yet, she expressed her fear and concern that the movie would be withdrawn by another source.
She denounced the behavior and urged everyone who is sharing content or encouraging others to download illegally to cease.
Toyin Abraham’s extensive post after her latest film Malaika was pirated:
“My movie got released online three (3) days into the new year,” Toyin Abraham stated. Even when my staff swiftly intervened and made sure it was stopped, I was still concerned that the movie might be removed from circulation by another source. When I dug more, I discovered that these guys also pirate a ton of other YouTube videos, streaming services, and motion pictures. When certain people stick together to hurt us and ruin our investment, how can the creative business expand? Spending is being reduced through streaming because there is no guarantee that they will meet demand and obtain the necessary subscription due to piracy. We are calling on everyone who is sharing content without permission or even encouraging others to download illegally to cease. I would want to express my gratitude to my team, @filmoneng, our distributor, AIG Idowu Owohunwa in Alagbon, CP Atayero, CSP Kayode Emmanuel, SP Idris Sarunmi, and their team members who journeyed across the nation to apprehend the suspected offenders. Your time is done, and the cops will locate you if you are operating a telegraph or have a link to post movies that you do not own.
