Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham addresses claims made by a fashion designer that she, Annie Idibia, and Gabriel Anthony are deeply indebted.
The designer, @stitchesbyandra, had criticized the three on her Instagram page, saying that they had neglected to pay a debt of millions of naira for a period of one year and two months.
In a post shared on her Instagram stories, @stitchesbyandra expressed frustration over the situation.
“@toyin_abraham @annieidibia1 @gabrielanthonys, my patience is running out already. 1 year and 2 months. How can you be with someone’s millions and feel so reluctant?” she wrote.
Toyin Abraham, however, responded to the accusation quickly on Friday night, refuting the allegations and providing clarification on the confusion.
Toyin claimed in her post that she did not owe the fashion designer anything; instead, Gabriel—who had first introduced her to the designer—had transferred the clothes to a different person.
She said she was disappointed to be brought into the matter and that she has always conducted business with integrity.
Toyin Abraham’s clarification on unpaid debts
“Hello everyone, I want to address the recent allegations regarding an unpaid debt to a fashion designer. The situation has been completely misunderstood, and I’d like to clarify what happened.
During the production of the movie Malaika, there was a runway scene, and we needed dresses. We contacted a couple of designers, Tiannah, to provide the dresses. Additionally, Gabriel, who was part of the team, mentioned that a friend of his also wanted to contribute some dresses, and she did.
I even bought a hairpiece from her, for which I paid in full. As for the dresses she provided, they were borrowed for the shoot, and once we finished using them, I handed the dresses back to Gabriel, who had initially brought them to us.
Upon seeing the allegations online, I immediately called Gabriel for clarification. Gabriel confirmed that he informed the designer that the dresses had already been returned to him, and that they were subsequently borrowed by someone else. It is, therefore, no longer my responsibility.
I hope this clears the confusion. Screenshots of THE conversation between the designer and Gabriel will be included for further proof. I appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. Thank you.”
