Nollywood actress and businesswoman Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal has issued cease-and-desist notices to fellow actress Iyabo Ojo, her daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and more than 100 bloggers and social media personalities over alleged defamation and cyberbullying.
The notices, dated October 3, 2026, were issued through her lawyers, A.U. Enahoro, Bayo Akinlade and A.U.E. Ogboi, demanding the removal of disputed online publications, public retractions and apologies, as well as written assurances that the alleged conduct would not be repeated.
According to the legal notices, the recipients were given seven days to comply, failing which Anjorin’s legal team warned that it could initiate legal proceedings seeking ₦50 million in damages from each affected individual or platform.
Others reportedly named in the notices include actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Gistlover, Amebohotgist, PauseandponderTV, Alujo TV, Alaroye TV, Tosin Silverdam Media Blog, TVCNewsNg, Izzy Ogbeide, Miss Debby TV and Germany Boss Lady TV, among several others.
Anjorin’s lawyers alleged that the affected individuals and platforms had published and circulated false and damaging content concerning the actress, her family and her businesses on social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
The legal team further claimed that some recipients had made criminal allegations against their client during online broadcasts without supporting police reports or court judgments. They argued that the publications had exposed Anjorin to public ridicule and could damage her reputation and business interests.
The notices also demanded the permanent removal of disputed posts, videos, livestreams and reposts, alongside public apologies and retractions with prominence comparable to that of the original publications.
The lawyers warned that failure to meet the demands could lead to lawsuits seeking damages, injunctions against further publication and recovery of legal costs. They also reserved the right to petition relevant security agencies over the alleged conduct.
The latest development adds another legal dimension to the long-running public dispute involving Anjorin and the Ojo family, which has played out on social media.
As of the time of reporting, Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo and the other named parties had not publicly responded to the notices, according to reports on the matter.
The allegations contained in the notices have not, by themselves, established legal liability on the part of any recipient.
