Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin, the Nollywood actresses, have reignited their longstanding feud with new allegations of supernatural attacks and legal threats.
The conflict, which began in 2023, appeared to have been resolved in June 2024 but has now flared up again, spilling into public view with heightened intensity.
The tension reached a boiling point after Ojo’s Lagos office was engulfed in flames earlier this week.
While no casualties were reported, Ojo’s daughter Priscilla revealed that the fire was part of a series of threats targeting their family.
She disclosed that her mother had received a threatening letter in May, warning that their movements were being monitored and that they would “go through hell” in the coming months.
On Friday, Ojo warned in an Instagram video that Anjorin should be held responsible if any harm came to her or her children.

The actress’ warning followed after Anjorin’s earlier claim that the N1 billion legal suit filed against her by her colleague had been dismissed.
“Iyabo Ojo’s N1 billion lawsuit against Lizzy Anjorin is dismissed, the court ordered Iyabo Ojo to pay Lizzy Anjorin a certain amount,” her post reads in part.

In the video, Ojo clarified that what they had previously attended was an ADR session, not a formal court case, and that the judge had advised an amicable resolution before dismissing it.
“Lizzy Anjorin, I have a video where you said I should be held responsible if anything happens to you or your family. That is precisely what I have been waiting for, for you to mention my name. Your lawyer needs to educate you that what we attended was ADR—Alternative Dispute Resolution,” she said.
“We have not even started any formal court case. The ADR judge dismissed the case. I have a lot of respect for that woman. One of the times we appeared before her, she called us aside and advised us to settle everything amicably.
“But you, Lizzy Anjorin, did not stop coming after me, my children, and my family. When we returned to court, the judge reassigned the case to another court. You somehow brought it back to her court, but she didn’t want to continue and threw it out. We have not begun the real case.
”I have not called any witnesses, and neither have you. I have been waiting for you to mention my name because, in court, you denied it was me when asked who Sepeteri and Gistlover were. When asked what problem you had with me, you said it was because I associated with people who bullied you.
“You keep attacking people close to me. You target anyone you see with me. And the only reason I filed a case against you is because of all the false accusations and defamatory statements you’ve made about me. There’s nothing you haven’t accused me of.”
The actress accused Anjorin of taking her and her children’s names to a herbalist to lay curses on them.
She also alleged that Anjorin linked her and her partner with the death of singer Mohbad. She accused Anjorin of consistently bullying her family, including her daughter Priscilla, son Festus, and son-in-law.
“If anything happens to me, Iyabo Ojo, my daughter Priscilla Ajoke, or Festus Olajuwon Ojo, you, Lizzy Anjorin, should be held responsible. You should be held fully accountable if anything happens to us,” she continued.
“When we get to court, you will explain who you were referring to when you said someone’s daughter, who just got married, should be killed with voodoo, ground, and mixed with sand. You know I’ve filed a criminal petition against you, and you’ve done the same. You’ve been cursing my children consistently.
“You have bullied me, my daughter, my son-in-law, my son, my partner, everyone around me. You have accused me of countless things, including the death of Mohbad. You even admitted to taking my name and those of my children to a herbalist. But I am glad you have finally mentioned my name, because before now, you claimed you had no issue with me since you never said my name.
“Now that you have, there is a case and you must explain exactly what that case is to the authorities and the public. You will explain in court how my partner and I and everyone around us supposedly killed Mohbad. Every single allegation you have made, you will be made to prove it in court.”
