Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has been admitted to the hospital following a wave of online criticism over her clash with veteran actor and director, Afeez Owo.

The controversy began after Afeez, husband of actress Mide Martins, spoke about Wumi’s on-screen persona during an interview. Unhappy with his remarks, Wumi publicly confronted him, a move that sparked widespread reactions. Many fans and social media users sided with Afeez, arguing that his comments were accurate, while Wumi came under heavy trolling.
The actress revealed her condition on Thursday by uploading a hospital-bed photo, implying that the criticism had impacted her well-being. Her caption read: “Internet dragging and ICU are siblings.”

In the comments, Wumi expressed regret over her outburst and assured fans she had learned her lesson. “I have heard you all, will do better next time. Wish me quick recovery,” she wrote.
