The long-running dispute between Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin and the family of actress Iyabo Ojo has taken a fresh legal turn, with a Lagos State High Court restraining Anjorin from publishing or circulating photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order following an ex-parte application filed by Priscilla Ojo, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, and their son, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala.
Under the order, Anjorin, her agents, representatives and anyone acting on her behalf are barred from publishing, posting, uploading, circulating or broadcasting photographs of the child on social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.
Several social media accounts allegedly linked to Anjorin were specifically identified in the court order.
The judge also directed Anjorin to stop publishing or broadcasting what the applicants described as “editorials” concerning them on the affected platforms pending the hearing and determination of the substantive motion before the court.
The latest development adds another legal dimension to a feud that has for years played out publicly through social media, with Anjorin and members of Iyabo Ojo’s family exchanging accusations and counter-accusations.
The dispute between Anjorin and Iyabo Ojo became particularly intense after the two actresses engaged in a public confrontation that saw serious allegations made by both sides.
The disagreement subsequently drew the attention of other personalities within the Yoruba movie industry and the wider entertainment sector, turning the matter into one of Nollywood’s most closely followed celebrity disputes.
Iyabo Ojo later instituted legal action against Anjorin, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit over statements she considered defamatory.
The lawsuit added a formal legal dimension to their already heated exchanges, while both parties continued to attract public attention whenever they addressed the dispute.
Priscilla Ojo, Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, has also become involved in the wider controversy.
The latest court action centres on her son, Rakeem, who was born in Canada in August 2025 following her marriage to Juma Jux.
In recent public comments, Anjorin also made claims questioning the child’s parentage. However, those claims remain unverified and were not established by the Lagos State High Court.
They also do not form the stated basis of the interim order, which focuses on the publication and circulation of photographs of the child and editorials concerning the applicants.
The order temporarily prevents Anjorin from using the specified social media platforms to circulate photographs of Rakeem or publish editorials concerning the applicants while the substantive proceedings continue.
However, the directive was issued ex parte, meaning Anjorin was not heard before the interim order was made. It should therefore not be regarded as a final determination of the wider dispute or the allegations exchanged by the parties.

The case marks a further escalation of the long-running feud, which has largely been fought through social media and public statements but has increasingly moved into the courts.
The court also directed that the case file be returned to the Registry of the High Court of Lagos State for reassignment to the appropriate division.
As of the time of filing this report, Anjorin had not publicly reacted to the latest court order.
The development leaves the long-running Nollywood dispute facing another legal battle, with the latest proceedings focused on the protection and publication of images involving Priscilla Ojo’s young son.
