A Lagos court has allegedly dismissed the N1 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo against her colleague Lizzy Anjorin, sparking mixed reactions across social media.
The lawsuit, which Iyabo filed last year, stemmed from allegations Lizzy made on social media. Iyabo had demanded N1 billion in damages for defamation of character.
However, on Wednesday, the court reportedly ruled to dismiss the case, a verdict that has divided fans and online observers. While some believe justice was not served, others argue that the case lacked enough merit from the beginning.
Reactions have continued to pour in online, with some supporting Iyabo’s fight against defamation, while others criticize the ongoing feud between the two actresses and urge them to move on.
