A TikTok content creator known as “Love” has reportedly been invited by the Nigeria Police Force over allegations bordering on cyberstalking, fraud and mischief following a viral video about the shelf life of a loaf of bread.

The development was made public by social media influencer Lucky Udu, who shared a screenshot of the lady’s TikTok direct message and also commented on the matter in a video posted on Instagram on Sunday.

In the video, Udu said the creator had reached out to him after receiving the police invitation, adding that the situation had attracted wide public attention.

“How many of you saw the video of the bread lady I posted? So she reached out to me that she has just been invited to the Nigeria Police Force headquarters for cyberstalking, mischief,” he said.

He explained that he had advised her to maintain communication with him as Nigerians continue to follow developments around the case.

“I have told this lady to keep in touch with me because a lot of Nigerians want to see how it goes,” he added.

In a screenshot of her message shared online, the TikToker, who uses the handle @lovedooshimaa, confirmed she had been summoned to the Force Headquarters for questioning.

“Hello good evening my brother. I saw the video you made and how many followers you pulled for me… As at this moment I have received an invitation to police HQ to come for an interview because I have been reported for cyberstalking, fraud, mischief and so on,” she wrote.

The matter stems from a viral TikTok video in which the content creator raised concerns about a loaf of bread she alleged remained fresh for about two months after purchase. The video quickly gained traction online, triggering debate among social media users over food safety and corporate accountability.

Following the backlash, bakery brand Bon Bread responded, stating that the claims had impacted its reputation and that it had made attempts to reach the creator for clarification.

The company’s founder, Maria Abdulkadir, had said the brand initially sought to understand the basis of the allegation, particularly how the bread could reportedly remain unspoiled for such a duration.

“I made a call to her because I wanted to understand where she got the bread from and how it could have lasted two months, as she claimed,” she said.

Abdulkadir added that the situation escalated after attempts at engagement were unsuccessful, while noting that public reactions in the comment section of the video further linked the claim to the brand.

She stressed that the company resorted to legal action to protect its reputation, insisting that Bon Bread products are freshly baked and typically do not last beyond a few days without preservatives.

“We believe in freedom of speech and respect everyone’s right to express opinions. However, we stand firmly behind the safety and quality of our product,” she said.

As of press time, the Nigeria Police Force has not issued an official statement confirming or clarifying the reported invitation. (Sunday PUNCH)
