Nollywood has once again been set ablaze—not by a new movie, but by a raging feud between two of its most prominent actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin. What started as subtle shade has now evolved into a full-blown scandal, involving threats, lawsuits, defamation claims, and even a fire incident. Let’s break down everything that’s going on.
The Feud Explodes: “If Anything Happens to Me, Hold Lizzy Responsible”—Iyabo ”Ojo
In a fiery new video posted on Instagram, Iyabo Ojo didn’t hold back. She publicly declared:
“If anything happens to me or my children, hold Lizzy Anjorin responsible.”
This statement follows Lizzy Anjorin’s recent accusations that Iyabo is behind the filming of her vehicle’s license plate and her child, as well as her claims that Iyabo is manipulating the public and destroying her reputation. Iyabo, in turn, has revealed that there is a ₦1 billion defamation lawsuit pending against Lizzy—although the legal process is yet to formally begin.
Office Fire and Sinister Coffin Parade
Things took an even darker turn when Iyabo’s Lagos office caught fire just days ago. As if that wasn’t enough, chilling videos began circulating online showing men parading with a coffin bearing Iyabo’s name. Many speculated that the fire was “divine punishment,” while others believed it was a coordinated attack stemming from her involvement in the #JusticeForMohbad movement.
In her own words, Iyabo Ojo said:
“Since the day I stood up for Mohbad, I have faced threats, harassment, and emotional blackmail. Now they want to destroy my business and endanger my life.”
Legal Storm: Police Summons and Lawsuit Drama
Iyabo has been summoned by the Nigeria Police Cybercrime Unit over allegations of cyberbullying tied to her past Instagram live sessions. However, the actress insists she never accused anyone directly in the Mohbad case but only demanded justice and transparency.
On the legal front, Iyabo insists she is ready to take Lizzy Anjorin to court for defamation and character assassination. She has also threatened to reveal even more if provoked further, claiming she has damning evidence and receipts.
The Bigger Picture: A Fight for Reputation or Something Deeper?
While this feud appears personal, many observers believe it reflects something much deeper—a battle over influence, loyalty, and public perception in Nollywood. The scandal has split fans, with hashtags like #IStandWithIyabo and #DefendLizzy trending on social media.
Celebrities and fans are now watching closely to see how far this war will go—and whether it will end in court, reconciliation, or further chaos.
