The actress cautioned her followers against being easily swayed by people who claim to possess evidence without actually presenting it, calling out those she described as "miscreants" stirring unnecessary controversy.
Iyabo Ojo defends her reputation
Central to her response was a firm denial that anything posted on her platform could be false. She insisted that the order is a public document that anyone sceptical of its authenticity is free to verify independently.
"Please let me be very clear: There is NO WAY — I repeat, NO WAY — we would ever post anything on social media that is fake. It's a public notice. You can verify it if you are in denial. Know that. And know peace," she wrote.
Iyabo also used the moment to reflect on her identity beyond entertainment, noting that she has never seen herself as just an actress. She described activism as a core part of who she is, adding that she believes this is precisely why she continues to draw attacks on herself and her family. She expressed zero regrets over the positions she has taken, maintaining she has always stood on the right side.

The court order that sparked the controversy
The dispute traces back to a Lagos High Court interim order issued on Wednesday, 2 September, which restrained Lizzy Anjorin Lawal from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading, or broadcasting images of Priscilla Ojo Mkambala, her husband Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son Rakeem Mkambala across any of her social media platforms.
Priscilla had shared the court order publicly online, which prompted a reaction from Lizzy Anjorin.
