Dayo Amusa Settles Differences With TikTok Creator Over False HIV Allegation

Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has forgiven Olaoluwa Segun (also known as unofficial_olas001), a TikTok video maker who falsely claimed to have HIV.

Despite her 2019 post announcing she was HIV negative and urging followers to be tested, Amusa had first threatened legal action in July after Olaoluwa identified her as one of five Nigerian actors reportedly living with HIV.

The actress recently shared in a video that she decided to forgive Olaoluwa after meeting his family and knowing about his hardships.

“I did promise to make him a scapegoat, which I did, but along the line I realised he just lost his mum. I got to realise he is just a 27-year-old boy. I also got to meet his relatives, including his uncle,” she explained.

She shared a clip of Olaoluwa’s apology, captioning her post: “Case closed. To err is human, to forgive is divine. Making mistakes is a natural and inherent part of being human. Let’s be guided.”

Olaoluwa, who admitted the toll of his actions, described his two-day detention as one of the worst experiences of his life, second only to the pain of losing his mother.

“I spent two days locked up in Yaba Panti. Aside from losing my mum, that was the worst experience of my life,” he said.

“I want to thank Aunty Dayo Amusa for forgiving me. If not for the fact that she changed her mind and forgave me, I would have been there for a long time. I don’t pray to ever sleep in a cell again,” he added.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
