Nigerian actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has shared her heart-wrenching experience of losing a nearly four-month pregnancy while on a movie set. The incident left her devastated, and she recounted the ordeal at the Bestie Jesu Concert 2026 held in Lagos on Saturday. According to Abraham, she was filming when the miscarriage occurred, and she was reluctant to inform her parents, particularly her aged mother, about the loss.
Abraham stated that she was 4 months pregnant when she lost the pregnancy, and she was filming at the time. She expressed her hesitation to call her parents, especially her mother, about the miscarriage. Instead, she informed her husband, who was far away at the time, and later reached out to Pastor Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters International Christian Centre for spiritual support.
Pastor Bolaji Idowu provided Abraham with financial and spiritual support during her difficult time. According to Abraham, the cleric prayed for her and asked about her location, and she informed him that she was on her way to the hospital. Pastor Bolaji then sent her millions of naira to cover her medical expenses, which included an evacuation procedure.
Abraham expressed her gratitude to Pastor Bolaji Idowu for his support during her time of need. She thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Pastor Bolaji. God bless you." The actress's experience highlights the challenges that women may face during pregnancy, especially in the film industry where work schedules can be demanding.
The incident has sparked conversations about the importance of support systems for women, especially in the entertainment industry. Abraham's decision to share her experience has been seen as a way to raise awareness about pregnancy loss and the need for empathy and understanding.
