Actress Dayo Amusa has announced plans to take legal action against a content creator who falsely claimed she is HIV positive.
In a video shared online, Amusa recalled previously disclosing her HIV-negative status on social media to encourage her fans to get tested and prioritise their health.
She expressed deep outrage and disappointment over the false claim, questioning the motives behind spreading unverified and damaging information.
Addressing the issue further, Amusa stated that she is determined to make the content creator a “scapegoat” to serve as a deterrent to others who engage in the spread of false information. She noted that the defamatory claim has deeply affected her loved ones.
Amusa firmly reiterated that she is not HIV positive.
She said: “A few years ago, I did an HIV test, which came out negative, and I posted it to encourage my fans to get theirs done. Some days ago, a content creator posted it on his page that I am HIV positive.
“By now, he knows what he is going through because I will not let this slide. Why do content creators and bloggers post unverified information?
“I have families and friends who read all these lies. He will be my scapegoat and serve as a lesson to others. I am HIV negative”.
