“I almost unlived myself over fake news” – Actress Eniola Ajao

Eniola Ajao, a well-known Yoruba actress and filmmaker, has disclosed that false information circulating on social media nearly pushed her to the brink of self-harm.

She shared this revelation during a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, where she recounted the emotional turmoil she experienced as a result of the misinformation.

Ajao expressed that this distress significantly impacted her mental well-being, ultimately causing her to retreat from social engagements.

“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.”
