A trader, Love Dooshima, has been released from police custody following the intervention of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Tunji Disu.

Dooshima’s arrest followed a viral video she posted on April 13, 2026, in which she questioned the safety of a loaf of bread that had remained on her shelf for two months without spoiling.

In the Instagram post captioned “Your Bread Could Be Poisoning You,” she said she avoided mentioning any brand to prevent controversy.

However, days later, a company identified as Bon Bread sent her a letter demanding N50 million in damages over the video.

According to Dooshima, the lawsuit came as a surprise, as she maintained that her content reflected personal observation and did not accuse any specific manufacturer.

She said: “Hello guys, you won’t believe what I’m holding in my hands. Bon bread sent their solicitors to serve me this letter.

“You remember the video I made three days ago about the bread that has stayed for two months in my shop without going bad? I was very intentional in that video, I didn’t mention any brand, I didn’t show their logo. I was that careful.

“Some of you in the comment section were saying ‘oh, you are a liar, you would have told us the name of the bread, how do you want us to stay away from the bread if you don’t tell us the name? You are lying, at least show the logo’ and some people were mentioning different brands, different breads, sharing their experiences with those breads.

“The next day, Bon bread sent me a message in my DM.”

She was later invited by the Nigeria Police, Abuja Command, and detained before her release.

Reacting to the development, supporters commended the intervention of the police chief.

“The IGP is someone we know. His intervention is commendable. We were excited when he was appointed; we are urging the IGP to continue with his effort to reform the Nigeria Police Force. We are not fighting the police on this issue, we just want the right thing to be done.

“We are happy she has been released.

“To the complainant, learn from history, we have passed through this road before,” a supporter said.
