Lizzy Anjorin serves cease-and-desist on Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla and over 100 bloggers, demands N50m each
Lizzy Anjorin-Lawal has served cease-and-desist notices on actress Iyabo Ojo, her daughter Priscilla Ojo and more than 100 bloggers, YouTubers and social media accounts. The notices, dated 3 October 2026, warn that each recipient could face a ₦50 million damages claim if they do not comply within seven days, according to ThisDay and Nigerian Tribune.
As of 10:30 AM WAT on 14 October 2026, we found no public response from Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo or the other recipients, and no report that a lawsuit has been filed.
What the Lizzy Anjorin notices demand
The notices were issued through her lawyers.
ThisDay names them as O.A.U. Enahoro, Bayo Akinlade and A.U.E. Ogboi, while Nigerian Tribune gives the first name as A.U. Enahoro.
According to both newspapers, the lawyers want three things from every recipient:
- Remove the disputed posts, videos, live broadcasts, clips and reposts from their platforms.
- Publish a public retraction and apology with the same prominence as the original posts.
- Give a written undertaking not to repeat the conduct complained of.
The deadline is seven days. ThisDay reports the lawyers’ wording as seven days “of the notices”.
What happens if they do not comply
The notices warn of a suit seeking ₦50 million in damages against each person or platform, Nigerian Tribune reported. They also mention a perpetual injunction against further publication and recovery of legal costs.
The lawyers also said their client could petition security agencies to investigate the alleged conduct. ThisDay describes this as a possible request for criminal investigation and prosecution.
What Lizzy Anjorin’s lawyers allege
The lawyers accuse the recipients of publishing false and malicious content about Lizzy Anjorin, her family and her businesses. They say this was done to attract traffic and earn revenue on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, according to Nigerian Tribune.
They further allege that some recipients made criminal allegations against her during live broadcasts without any police report or court judgment to support them. They say the posts exposed her to ridicule and damaged confidence in her businesses.
These are allegations made in a lawyer’s letter. None of them has been tested in court, and the people named have not publicly answered them as of the time above.
Who received the notices
Iyabo Ojo and Priscilla Ojo are the best-known names on the list. The rest are more than 100 bloggers, vloggers, YouTube channels, online TV pages and individual commentators, according to ThisDay.
We are not reproducing the full list. Several of the accounts named are gossip platforms, and the notices only state the lawyers’ side of the dispute.
How the notices were delivered
ThisDay reports that the notices were sent to some recipients through their social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Others were sent by email and by registered delivery.
We have not seen the notices ourselves. Every detail above comes from the ThisDay and Nigerian Tribune reports, which say they are quoting the documents.
When does the seven-day deadline end?
If the seven days are counted from the date on the notices, 3 October, the window would have closed on 10 October. The notices were delivered by different methods, and the delivery dates have not been published, so the deadline for each recipient may differ.
As of 10:30 AM WAT on 14 October 2026, there was no public report of a court filing by Lizzy Anjorin’s lawyers.
What a cease-and-desist letter is, and is not
A cease-and-desist letter is a formal demand from one party’s lawyers. It is not a court order, and on its own it does not decide who is right.
If the sender wants damages or an injunction, a lawsuit has to be filed and a court has to rule. Until that happens, the ₦50 million figure is a claim the lawyers say they will make, not an amount anyone has been ordered to pay.
Has Iyabo Ojo responded?
As of 10:30 AM WAT on 14 October 2026, we found no public statement from Iyabo Ojo or Priscilla Ojo on the notices. Nigerian Tribune also reported on 11 October that none of the named parties had publicly responded.
If either of them replies, we will add the platform, the date and their exact words here. We will not publish second-hand claims about what either side “said” without a primary source.
