She said, “To you all rumour mongers that spread fake news about me, it shall not be well with you. Who did they arrest?

“You are heaping curs£s on your head because I am a special being. Anyone that wishes me bad, it will go back to the sender.”

Iyabo’s response comes amid ongoing legal tensions with VeryDarkMan, who has been re-arraigned over cyberbullying allegations against her, Tonto Dikeh and others. She accused him of spreading false narratives online to gain attention and traffic.

The controversy is also linked to a WhatsApp group formed after the death of singer Mohbad, which VeryDarkMan had portrayed as secretive.

Why I’m Ignoring Lizzy Anjorin’s Death Wishes, Curses On My Grandson – Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has given an update concerning her issues with Lizzy Anjorin over the consistent insults, death wishes and curses on her family and grandson.

According to Iyabo Ojo, she’s deliberately ignoring Anjorin and her curses.

Speaking in a post via Instagram on Sunday, the actress admitted that she had often struggled to hold her peace and ignore the distraction because of God.
She wrote, “Honestly, I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. These videos cracked me up real good 😂🤣🤣😅🤣🤣😂 😂🤣😅😂
 
On a more serious note, I’ve seen all your messages, DMs, voice notes, and questions about my silent approach to the defamatory statements, insults, death wishes, and curses Liz Anjorin has been directing at my family, especially those targeting my grandson. Honestly, most times, I struggle to hold my peace… but I have to ignore the distractions. Who God has blessed, no one can curse 🙏.
 
For clarity, I want to assure you all that my legal team isn’t sleeping. They’re taking notes of everything. A wise one must always listen to the counsel of the learned team. Everything has its timing.
 
My people, over the past few months, it was strictly about focusing on family while my legal team takes note and prepares me for the battles ahead – welcoming my grandson, supporting my daughter through her motherhood journey, and standing in the gap, both physically and spiritually, required my undivided attention.
 
Note that once I land in Lagos, God willing, yes, it will be time to tackle challenges. Silence can be powerful, and while it’s not always easy for me, I know it’s sometimes necessary. I love you all and appreciate your genuine concerns ❤️. Keep being your wonderful selves, and I’ll keep you all updated when the time is right. God bless.”
