She raised the alarm in a post on her social media where she revealed that someone was caught in a cinema recording the movie.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a clip where she recounted how the culprit had recorded about one hour and 16 minutes of the newly released movie.
The mother of one disclosed that the culprit was made to delete the recording after getting caught. The person was, however, released by virtue of her plea.
She therefore took the opportunity to warn other Nigerians looking to secretly record her movie in the cinema, saying she would not intervene if anyone is caught and would instead let the law run its course.The actress said,
“They caught someone at the cinema yesterday who had recorded Alakada for about 1 hour and 16 minutes, they deleted it and I told them to let her go. Please stop recording, if they catch anybody else, I won’t interfere.
“Stop recording, there’s no way they won’t catch you. Please I beg you in God’s name. Look at me, I am so tired. I just got back from the cinema, I’m too tired, please. I’m working hard to make you people proud.”
Alakada Bhad and Boujee, Toyin Abraham’s latest release, is currently showing in Cinemas across Nigerians.
This is not Toyin Abraham’s first public campaign against people pirating her movies. Last year, she paraded 5 people trying to sell out her movie, Malaika, which at the time was showing in cinemas.
During a press conference, the mother of one revealed how she was told of the rampant piracy move, as she disclosed that she nearly went mad because she had spent over five hundred million naira on the movie project.
Toyin Abraham is not the only actress taking a stand against piracy.
Funke Akindele, who premiered her movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa, earlier in December cried out over the prevalence of piracy in Nollywood.The box office Queen urged Nigerians to shun piracy, which is killing the hard work of movie makers.
