On 3 October 2026, Chief (Dr) Lizzy Anjorin‑Lawal served a cease‑and‑desist notice on Nollywood star [Iyabo Ojo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyabo_Ojo), her daughter Priscilla Ojo and more than a hundred bloggers and social‑media influencers, alleging they published false and malicious material about her, her family and her businesses.
The legal document, signed by lawyers A.U. Enahoro, Bayo Akinlade and A.U.E. Ogboi, orders the recipients to delete every post, video or live broadcast that contains the disputed content, to issue a public retraction and apology with the same visibility as the original material, and to provide a written undertaking not to repeat the alleged defamation. Failure to meet the seven‑day deadline will trigger a claim for ₦50 million in damages per individual, a perpetual injunction, recovery of litigation costs and a request for criminal investigation.
The notice lists a long roster of alleged offenders, including Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo, Gistlover, Amebohotgist, PauseandponderTV, Alujo TV, Alaroye TV, Tosin Silverdam Media Blog, TVCNewsNg, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Izzy Ogbeide, Miss Debby TV, Germany Boss Lady TV, Esabod Tokunbo Aboderin, Akeem Akintola Olalekan Taoreed, Olu Olowogemo Harejan, Adewunmi Fatai and Olabanji Farms, among others.
**What does the notice specifically demand?**
The cease‑and‑desist order requires the named parties to permanently erase all alleged defamatory posts, videos and reposts; publish a public apology and retraction that matches the prominence of the original content; and submit a signed pledge to refrain from future defamatory publications.
**Why is the claim being pursued?**
Anjorin‑Lawal’s counsel argues that the accused used fabricated criminal allegations and sensational claims to attract traffic and generate revenue on platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, thereby exposing the actress to public ridicule, harming her reputation and undermining confidence in her commercial interests. The legal team stated, "The publications have exposed the actress to public ridicule, damaged her reputation and undermined confidence in her business interests."
As of the time this report was compiled, neither Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla Ojo nor any of the other listed individuals had issued a public response to the cease‑and‑desist notice.
