The long-standing clash between Nollywood stars Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin has flared up once again, as Ojo has vowed to pursue new legal action over alleged defamatory remarks, curses, and threats aimed at her and her family. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
This development comes months after the Lagos State High Court, Osborne Division, dismissed Ojo’s ₦1 billion defamation lawsuit against Anjorin due to what the court described as procedural errors. The court also ordered Ojo’s lawyer, Olabimpe Ajegbomogun, to pay ₦500,000 in costs to Anjorin’s legal representative, Ademola Olabiyi.
Iyabo Ojo Breaks Silence with Instagram Post
In a detailed Instagram post shared on Monday, Ojo revealed that her legal team has been actively monitoring the situation, documenting Anjorin’s comments, and preparing grounds for possible legal proceedings.
“My legal team isn’t sleeping. They are taking note of everything. A wise person listens to learned counsel. Everything has its timing,” she wrote.
The actress expressed deep concern over repeated attacks allegedly made by Anjorin, including insults, curses, and death wishes directed at her children and grandson.
“The insults, curses, even death wishes Liz has directed at my family, especially my grandson, are heartbreaking. Most times, I struggle to hold my peace, but I choose to ignore the distractions. Who God has blessed, no one can curse,” Ojo stated.
Focus on Family Before Legal Action
According to Ojo, she had temporarily shifted her attention to her family life, particularly celebrating the arrival of her first grandchild and supporting her daughter, Priscilla Ojo. However, she hinted that upon her return to Lagos, firmer legal steps will be taken against Anjorin.
A Feud Rooted in Years of Rivalry
The bitter rivalry between both actresses has spanned several years, spilling over from social media wars to court battles.
The animosity reportedly intensified after Ojo publicly expressed support for Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja-General and daughter of President Bola Tinubu—who happens to be the wife of Anjorin’s husband. This gesture allegedly triggered accusations and relentless online attacks from Anjorin.
Since then, Anjorin has frequently used Facebook live sessions to throw jabs at Ojo, often resulting in parody videos and memes circulating on TikTok and other platforms.
Ojo further accused her colleague of orchestrating threats against her family, including a disturbing letter received by her daughter in May, warning that their movements were being tracked.
Fire Incident Fuels Tensions
The dispute escalated further following a fire outbreak at Ojo’s Lagos office. The actress linked the incident to ongoing threats and warned that if any harm befell her or her family, Anjorin should be held responsible.
One of Nollywood’s Most Publicized Feuds
Despite facing setbacks in her earlier court case, Ojo maintained that her silence was deliberate and influenced by legal advice. However, she made it clear in her latest statement that the period of restraint is over.
“Silence can be powerful,” she remarked, hinting that the time for legal redress has finally come.
With lawsuits, petitions, social media taunts, and alleged threats fueling the conflict, the Iyabo Ojo–Lizzy Anjorin saga remains one of Nollywood’s most intense and publicized celebrity feuds.
