Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly called on her longtime rival, Lizzy Anjorin, to take responsibility if harm comes to her or her children.
The warning follows recent dramatic events, including a fire at Iyabo’s office and ongoing legal battles between the two actresses.
Heated rivalry reignites on social media
Popular Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo recently took to social media to express serious concerns about her safety and that of her children. She specifically named fellow actress Lizzy Anjorin, warning the public to hold Anjorin accountable if anything untoward happens to her family.
The tension between the two stars has been brewing for years, but things escalated sharply after a fire destroyed Iyabo’s office just days ago. Many fans and industry watchers have linked this incident to the ongoing feud between the two actresses.
Lizzy Anjorin claims victory in defamation case
Earlier, Lizzy Anjorin made headlines after posting a video on social media claiming that a defamation lawsuit filed against her by Iyabo Ojo was dismissed by the court. She said the case was struck out and accused Iyabo of surrounding herself with people who bully her.
Anjorin’s video quickly gained attention, stirring up the rivalry once again. She used the moment to suggest that Iyabo’s accusations against her were baseless and that she was the victim in the dispute.
Iyabo Ojo refutes claims, sets the record straight
In response, Iyabo Ojo held a live session on Instagram to clarify the situation. She firmly denied Lizzy’s claims about the court case. According to Iyabo, the defamation case had not even officially begun. She explained that what had happened was merely an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, a step often taken before formal court hearings.
“If anything happens to me or my children, hold Lizzy Anjorin responsible. We have not started the case yet. That is just ADR,” Iyabo said during the live broadcast. “I have been waiting for you to mention my name. The judge threw the case out because she wanted peace.”
She also addressed Anjorin’s comment about her associating with people who bully her. “Lizzy, we aren’t friends, and I do not owe you any explanation about who I choose to be close to,” Iyabo stated firmly.
Police involvement adds new dimension
New Daily Prime reports that hours after her Instagram live, Iyabo Ojo revealed she had been summoned by the police over alleged cyberbullying. This development suggests that the feud may soon move beyond social media and courtrooms into formal police investigations.
The nature of the cyberbullying accusations has not been fully disclosed, but Iyabo’s willingness to cooperate with the authorities signals her determination to clear her name and stand her ground.
Background of the feud
The conflict between Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin has been ongoing for years, with several public disagreements and social media clashes. Both actresses have large fan bases who often take sides, making the feud a hot topic in Nollywood circles.
Their rivalry has included accusations of defamation, personal attacks, and disputes over professional respect within the film industry. Despite multiple attempts by fans and industry insiders to encourage reconciliation, the animosity remains strong.
What lies ahead?
With tensions escalating, many are watching closely to see what happens next. The fire incident at Iyabo’s office and the recent police summons raise serious questions about the safety and well-being of both actresses.
As the defamation case prepares to move forward, and cyberbullying allegations come into play, this rivalry could take a new turn in the coming weeks. Fans and colleagues alike hope for a peaceful resolution to what has become one of Nollywood’s most publicised disputes.
