Filmmaker Eniola Ajao has revealed that she almost attempted suicide because of false news on social media.
Eniola made this known while sharing her experience during a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio.
Narrating her experience with false news, the actress said she faced severe emotional distress that also led to her withdrawal from social activities.
She said, “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 faced something so painful that I couldn’t eat for seven days. I didn’t go anywhere. People around me can testify to it.”
The actress added that she was planning her next film at that time but it became difficult due to her emotional state.
“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,” she said.
