What should have been a season of bliss for the Ojo family has taken a fiery turn.
On the evening of July 8, 2025, flames engulfed the Lagos office of Nollywood star and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo, sending shockwaves across social media.
Videos shared online showed heavy smoke and chaos as fire crews battled the blaze. Though no lives were lost, Iyabo’s message was chilling and resilient: “The devil tested us today, but God said no. We will bounce back—bigger, stronger, better.”
But the fire wasn’t just a tragic accident—it may have been the smoking gun in a bigger plot.
A Chilling Letter Before the Fire
Weeks earlier, Iyabo received an anonymous threat, hand-delivered to her office by an unknown sender. Signed by an alleged “aggrieved group,” the letter accused her of causing harm to someone—and daring to go ahead with her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s high-profile wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
Its words were bone-chilling: “We are monitoring you. We shall render your daughter’s marriage useless.”
The letter was dated May 24, 2025. The fire came six weeks later.
Coincidence? Priscilla doesn’t think so.
Priscilla Speaks: “This Was Plan B”
In a bold Instagram post, Priscilla Ojo broke her silence, accusing unknown enemies of trying to destroy her marriage by any means necessary. “This fire? It’s Plan B. Because Plan A—ruining my wedding—failed.”
She called out the threat publicly, sharing the letter and vowing that the perpetrators “won’t silence” her mother or the Ojo legacy.
She also revealed that CCTV cameras have been installed at both Iyabo’s office and home, and investigators are reviewing footage and delivery logs.
“Soon, we will unmask who delivered that letter. And they will answer—both publicly and legally.”
Ojo Women: Built from Fire, Not Burned by It
While the office may have been reduced to ashes, the Ojo family’s spirit is anything but.
Priscilla drew strength from her lineage, saying she comes from a “line of women who don’t cry, they conquer.” Iyabo, known for her unshakable drive in the entertainment and beauty industries, echoed that energy by promising to rebuild—fiercer than ever.
“They want to dim our light. But we shine through the smoke.”
The Bigger Picture: Was This Arson with a Message?
Here’s where things stand:
Investigations are active, with authorities reviewing surveillance and delivery routes tied to the letter.
The fire’s symbolism is hard to ignore, targeting the exact office where threats were sent.
The timing—just weeks after Priscilla’s wedding—suggests deep-rooted malice, possibly from someone close to the family’s orbit.
Final Word: Out of the Ashes, the Ojos Rise
What began as a beautiful union—#JP2025—has morphed into a mysterious and dangerous campaign against the Ojos. But if the goal was to break them, it backfired.
“They can burn our walls,” Priscilla wrote, “but they’ll never break our bond.”
As the investigations continue, one truth is already clear: you don’t come for a family like the Ojos without a fight—and fire can’t stop what they’ve built.
