#JusticeForToyin trends as activist is found dead after sexual assault tweets

US-based Nigerian Black Live Matters activist, Oluwatoyin Salau who was missing has been found dead.

The 19-year-old died after tweeting that a man who offered her a ride to church had molested her, according to reports on Twitter.

Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau, had been declared as a missing person by Tallahassee Police department, Florida.

On June 6, 2020, on her Twitter page, just hours before she disappeared, Salau wrote a series of disturbing tweets.

According to her, “Silence is the best weapon for some but not for me I will not be silenced,” she had written on her Twitter page at that time.

She had tweeted about how she was sexually assaulted, detailing her experience. She wrote;

“Anyways I was molested in Tallahassee, Florida by a black man this morning at 5:30 on Richview and Park Ave. The man offered to give me a ride to find someplace to sleep and recollect my belongings from a church I refuged to a couple of days back to escape unjust living conditions.”

He came disguised as a man of God and ended up picking me up from nearby Saxon Street. I entered his truck only because I carry anything to defend myself not even a phone (which is currently at the church) and I have poor vision. I trusted the holy spirit to keep me safe.

When we arrived at his house he offered me a shower and I thanked him and shower and he gave me a change of clothes. He exposed himself to me by peeing with the bathroom open obviously knowing I was out of it. I told him about a sexual assault situation that happened…

To me in March involving Ivan a 32 year old Ghanaian man who currently schools at FAMU and lives at 211 Jakes and Patterson (I am currently 19 years old) who tried to force me to give him oral sex and then continued to harrass me thru text and knocking at my door for days.

Going back to the situation that happened to me this morning, I did not fall asleep. He then asked me if I wanted a massage at this moment his roommate who was in the house was asleep. I was laying on my stomach trying to calm myself down from severe ptsd. He started touching-

 

My back and rubbing my body using my body until he climaxed and then went to sleep. Before I realized what happened to me I looked over and his clothes were completely off. Once I saw he was asleep I escaped from the house and started walking from Richview Road to anywhere else

All of my belongings my phone my clothes shoes are all assumably at the church where I’ve been trying to track since I sought spiritual guidance/ refuge. I will not be silent.

Literally wearing this man’s clothes right now DNA all over me because I couldn’t locate his house the moment I called the police because I couldn’t see.

On social media, people are claiming that Salau, who was a speaker at Black Lives Matter protests after the death of George Floyd is dead.

According to them Salau’s body had been found.
