Nollywood’s long-standing cold war between Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin has reignited with a supernatural twist.
In a blistering Instagram Live session on July 10, Ojo stunned fans with a jaw-dropping revelation: Anjorin allegedly took her name — and her children’s — to a herbalist in what she described as a diabolical move to harm her family.
“If anything happens to me, my daughter Priscilla, or my son Festus — Lizzy Anjorin should be held responsible,” Ojo declared, visibly emotional and defiant.
A Clash Laced in Controversy
Their bitter history is no secret. In late 2023, Ojo filed a ₦500 million defamation suit against Anjorin over accusations that linked her to gossip blog Gistlover and the tragic death of singer Mohbad. The case drew massive public interest and media heat.
By mid-2024, a court appearance in Lagos saw the duo temporarily call a truce, walking out hand-in-hand — or rather, hugged by Anjorin’s husband — in what many assumed was the end of the drama.
But the peace didn’t last.
Back With a Vengeance: The Latest Firestorm
Iyabo Ojo’s latest accusations are perhaps the most sensational yet:
She alleged that Anjorin visited a native doctor, using both her and her children’s names in a spiritual attack attempt.
According to Ojo, Anjorin continues to target her with cryptic insults and coded language, using phrases like “Sepeteri” or other indirect slurs instead of addressing her by name.
She vowed to escalate the matter legally once again, adding that her patience had run out. “Let her come out and mention my name with her chest. All these backdoor shades are cowardly,” Ojo challenged.
Legal Twist: Dismissed or Dodged?
In a twist, Anjorin fired back on Instagram, claiming the original lawsuit had been dismissed by the courts. Though she provided no court documents or specifics, she taunted Ojo, suggesting that legal drama that doesn’t “bring money” isn’t worth her energy.
Her claims sparked mixed reactions online — some saw it as vindication, others called it legal evasion wrapped in theatrics.
Digital Daggers & Veiled Jabs
The hostility is now firmly planted on social media where:
Ojo demands public accountability and real consequences.
Anjorin keeps her shots indirect, swerving Ojo’s demand to be named explicitly while maintaining a smug online presence.
Observers have likened their feud to a Nollywood thriller with supernatural undertones — part courtroom drama, part spiritual warfare.
