This is second or third hand by now, but a BBC Merlin fan account shared the following image from Eoin Macken’s Instagram stories.

“Myself and Rupert representing for Tomiwa (with the Lagos filter for the afficionados of Insta) … This guy is way too cool.”

One doesn’t like to speculate too far, but Tomiwa was born in Nigeria, and still has many ties there. It seems as if his Merlin besties were there to support him.
