Iyabo Ojo has sued her colleague Lizzy Anjorin for N500 million for alleged libel.
Anjorin had done a series of Instagram Live sessions focusing on a persona she called “Sepeteri.”
She stated Sepeteri is associated with a well-known yet obscure blog.
She also stated that the individual is well-versed in the circumstances surrounding the death of Mohbad, the street-pop musician.
Iyabo Ojo, convinced that Anjorin was referring to her, responded with a video challenging the actress.
Ojo hinted at potential legal action.
Despite this, Anjorin continued with more accusations.
In a letter issued by Iyabo’s legal team, Anjorin is sued for N500 million.
Ojo, as seen in the suit, is also demanding a public apology and retraction of the commentaries.
Anjorin was also given 14 days to respond to the lawsuit or face further legal action.
“Our client came on her verified social media handle on Instagram and called out your name and asked if you were referring to her as ‘Sepeteri’,” the suit read in parts.
“She further challenged you to mention her name for clarity and put an end to the second-guessing. Surprisingly you did not waste time responding.
“We formally make the following demands that you publish in four national papers retracting all libellous publications within fourteen days from the date on this letter.
“That you pay a sum of N500,000,000 to our client as damages to assuage her battered image caused by your defamatory publications within fourteen days from the date on this letter
“If you fail or neglect to accede to our demands within fourteen days from the date of this letter, we shall be left to activate full weight of legal machinery against you, without any further recourse to you.”
