Popular Nollywood actor Tayo Amokade, widely known as Ijebu, has urged law enforcement authorities to take action against content creator King Mitchy following the controversy surrounding her recent TikTok live session.
The call comes after widespread reactions online over Mitchy’s alleged suicide attempt during a livestream. According to reports, she consumed a household cleaning substance during the broadcast amid her ongoing public dispute with activist VeryDarkMan.
After the incident, her management claimed she took the action as a result of intense social media attacks from VeryDarkMan and his supporters. The development triggered heated debate across social platforms, with many Nigerians and public figures expressing concern. Some critics also decried what they described as a growing trend of using harmful narratives for online attention.
In a video shared on Instagram, Ijebu condemned the act and appealed to the police to intervene, stressing the potential influence such content could have on younger audiences.

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.

The actor emphasised that the substance involved is a common household product used for cleaning and bleaching, warning that portraying it in such a manner could negatively shape the behaviour of impressionable viewers.
The incident continues to generate debate online, with conversations focusing on influencer responsibility, mental health awareness, and the impact of social media content on teenagers.
