Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin is in a celebratory mood following a Lagos court’s dismissal of the ₦1 billion defamation lawsuit filed against her by fellow actress Iyabo Ojo.
The legal battle began last year after Iyabo accused Lizzy of defamation, following several damaging allegations Lizzy made on social media. In retaliation, Iyabo demanded a public apology and threatened legal consequences, including a ₦500 million compensation claim if Lizzy didn’t retract her statements.
The tension between the two actresses had been brewing for months, with both stars dragging each other online. Iyabo had previously called Lizzy out for alleged harassment and cyberbullying, accusing her of targeting her and her loved ones. Lizzy, in turn, fired back with personal accusations, further fueling their public feud.
Despite earlier court sessions where Lizzy failed to appear, and court summons had to be delivered by pasting them on her residence, the case eventually moved forward.
However, in a dramatic twist, Lizzy Anjorin took to Instagram to share the latest development:
"BREAKING NEWS!!! IYABO OJO 1 BILLION NAIRA LAW SUIT CASE AGAINST LIZZY ANJORIN DISMISSED!!!"
It’s worth noting that in July 2024, the presiding judge attempted to mediate between the actresses. According to Iyabo, the judge gave both parties “motherly advice” urging them to end their public clashes and make peace.
With this verdict, Lizzy Anjorin walks away legally vindicated — at least for now — while fans await Iyabo Ojo’s next move. Social media has since been buzzing with mixed reactions, with many urging both stars to end their feud for good.
