Former Big Brother Naija housemate and media personality, Natacha Akinde, widely known as Tacha, has called out content creator Lawrence Alabi for allegedly turning the arrest of an upcoming creator and social media troll into online content.
The individual, identified on 𝕏 as “Small Ralph” (@Churlah) and popularly called “Banger Boy,” is known for his frequent trolling and online attacks.
While many Nigerians agreed that Alabi was justified in seeking legal action, reactions shifted after videos showing the arrest of “Banger Boy” began circulating online. Several social media users expressed discomfort, describing the incident as humiliating.
Reacting via her 𝕏 account, Tacha condemned the public handling of the arrest, stressing that although the law should take its course, public humiliation was unnecessary and dangerous. She also criticised the tendency of some Nigerians to use power or influence to oppress others once they attain success.
She wrote:
“We are the biggest hypocrites to ever exist. We can all agree that the Nigerian dream is to make it well enough to oppress another Nigerian.
“You live in the uk you know with a billion pounds you can’t do this.
“Sue the boy; I don’t care. But what you won’t do is humiliate him.
“If anybody can get me the boy’s contact, send a DM or drop a comment. We will get him out, and the boy in question will still face the law. But what you won’t do is humiliate him.”
