Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has explained why she has stayed mute in the face of rival actress Lizzy Anjorin’s alleged repeated insults and death threats on her family.
Iyabo said in an Instagram post on Sunday that she made the conscious choice to ignore the turmoil, saying it has been hard to keep her peace but she decided to put her family first.
She disclosed that her legal team is keeping a careful eye on the matter and getting ready to take the required action.
She says the last six months have been spent welcoming her grandchild, helping her daughter Priscilla adjust to motherhood, and making sure her family is doing well.
“I’ve seen all your DMs, voice notes, and questions about my silence despite all the defamatory statements, insults, death wishes, and curses aimed at my family, especially my grandson. Honestly, I struggle to hold my peace, but sometimes silence is necessary. Who God has blessed, no one can curse,” she wrote.
