Lizzy Anjorin, a well-known actress and businesswoman from Nigeria, has expressed her regret at being harassed online by several blogs that spread untrue information about her.
According to certain allegations from earlier in February, Anjorin stole gold from a Lagos Island market.
The movie star refuted the accusations and stated that she was the victim of a “setup” in the incident.
A few days later, the actress’s husband, Lateef Lawal, was involved in a land-grabbing case that made headlines.
Journalists were able to get a court document from which another actress, Faith Ojo, named Anjorin’s husband, Lateef Lawal, as one of the defendants for tearing down buildings on her land.
Ojo wants payment of N30 million and that the defendants bear the expense of the legal action.
In addition, she asks for a permanent injunction to prevent them from using or developing the land.
On Monday, Ojo used her Instagram profile to affirm that the accusations were accurate.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the actress expressed her frustration with the accusations and targeted several blogs that she claimed were using false stories to intimidate her.
Part of the message says, “I can’t be working in this toxic environment and you all in return subject me to bullies through your promotions of fake stories.”
Six traders were charged by the police on February 9 in front of a court for allegedly beating and blackmailing Anjorin.
The sitting magistrate, A.A. Paul, gave each defendant N200,000 bail with one surety apiece, who had to be a resident of Lagos and provide proof of having paid taxes.
He ruled that the defendants would be held in detention at the Nigerian Correctional Services until their bail conditions were fulfilled.
The matter was postponed until March 11 for mention.
