The defamation legal case between actress Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin has been adjourned till April 10th, 2024, due to Liz Anjorin’s absence from the court. She is also to be served by Iyabo Ojo’s lawyers for the second time, before the next court date.
Actress Iyabo Ojo and her lawyer on Monday 26th February 2024, gave fans an update on the case, saying that she is waiting for Lizzy Anjorin to come to court and show her evidence of her allegations to the court and the general public.
Posting a video of her court appearance on her official social media handle, on Monday, explaining to the Press about the outcome of today’s court proceedings alongside her lawyer, she captioned the video with these words:
“April 10th is around the corner…the court will be serving you once again, Liz, and this time, the court has given the order for it to be pasted everywhere on your wall if you don’t accept it. This court se, we must go and you must bring all your evidence by force by fire,” she said with emoji.
The drama between Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin moved to another level as the former finally carried out her threat to sue the latter over alleged defamation of character and cyberbullying.
Iyabo, through her lawyers on November 24th 2023,, accused Lizzy of referring to her as Sepeteri, a fictional character with claims of her having a threesome with her daughter.
In the viral legal letter, Iyabo demanded an apology and N500 million in compensation for damages to her personality. The letter, however, added the matter would be taken to court if Lizzy to comply failed to oblige to the demands.
Lizzy fired back at Iyabo for slamming her with a lawsuit.
The duo have been at loggerheads since 2023 after Iyabo started seeking justice for the late singer Mohbad.
