Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin is quite over the moon following a court verdict in her favour in her public spat with colleague, Iyabo Ojo.
Kemi Filani reported last year that Iyabo Ojo had filed a N1 billion defamation lawsuit against Lizzy over her social media allegations.
In an update to the suit, a Lagos court dismissed the defamation suit on Wednesday.
Lizzy had made the good news known on her Instagram page. She wrote,
“BREAKING NEWS !!! IYABO OJO 1 BILLION NAIRA LAW SUIT CASE AGAINST LIZZYANJORIN DISMISSED!!!”.
Early this year, Iyabo Ojo had called out Lizzy Anjorin over her constant harassment and bullying. She exposed Lizzy’s disturbing pattern of harassment, noting how the controversial actress continues to target her loved ones. Iyabo warned her for the last time as she requested Lizzy respect her boundaries, focus on her life, and stop stalking her.
Recall that for months, Iyabo and Lizzy stirred the internet by washing their dirty linen publicly. Iyabo had shared a video where she was mimicking and mocking Lizzy humorously. Lizzy, who was offended went on to reveal some intimate details about Iyabo, accusing her of promiscuity.
Following the allegation, Iyabo threatened legal action against Lizzy, demanding a public apology or risk paying N500 million for her libellous publication.
In March, last year, Iyabo filed a defamatory lawsuit against Lizzy; unfortunately, Lizzy failed to attend court during their first hearing. The court had later served her letters, which were pasted on her house gate.
In July, the judge presiding over their case had played a mediator between the two as he reconciled the actresses. Confirming it to the press, Iyabo stated that the judge gave both of them motherly advice to stop fighting and cursing each other on social media and embrace peace.
