Popular Nigerian actor, Tayo Amokade, professionally known as Ijebu, has called for the arrest of content creator, King Mitchy.
Ijebu made the call amid social media outcry trailing King Mitchy’s suicide attempt during Tiktok live.
Newsunplug reports that King Mitchy had during the Tiktok live drunk hypo in an alleged attempt to end her life following the ongoing public fight between her and VeryDarkMan.
After the incident, King Mitchy’s management announced that she allegedly took her life over the social media attack from VeryDarkMan and his fans.
The development sparked controversy on the Internet, with many Nigerians, including celebrities now using hypo for suicide content.
However, reacting to the viral trend, Ijebu in an Instagram video, called for Mitchy’s arrest for turning hypo to a product used to commit suicide.
While emphasising the negative effect of the video on teenage users, Ijebu noted that hypo is an household used product.
He said, “Good morning everyone, I want to pass this message to everybody, especially to our police. I’m begging the police in charge of social media, that are monitoring the use of social media that we have children between age 10 and 21 that have access to social media. I don’t know when hypo that is meant to bleach toilet, clothes or used to clean our house turned to a drink all in the name of I want to end all, I want to commit suicide, I’m depressed.
“So, if someone is now depressed, the solution is to take their life. I’m urging the police to start the arrest of anyone attempting to commit suicide because all this Gen z has a lot of followers. They are supposed to be a role model not bad influence. Please I’m begging the police to arrest anyone that comes online all in the name of I want to end it all. She was seen during the Tiktok live drinking hypo in presence of her associates”, Ijebu lamented.
