A formal legal rejoinder dated October 13, 2026 was issued by the solicitors representing Iyabo Ojo, her daughter Priscilla Ajoke Ojo Mkambala, Juma Mkambala, and Master Rakeem Mkambala. The document strongly condemns a publication made by Lizzy Anjorin–Lawal on October 11, 2026, describing it as malicious, libellous, defamatory, and deliberately misleading. According to the lawyers, Lizzy’s claims were fabricated to tarnish their clients’ reputation and stir public hostility.
The rejoinder highlights that Lizzy’s statements touch on issues already before the courts , specifically an appeal at the Court of Appeal (Appeal No. CA/LAG/CV/1013/2025) and a pending suit at the High Court of Lagos (Suit No. LD/ADR/5292/2023). The lawyers stress that her actions amount to interference with judicial proceedings and could be considered contempt of court. They assert that Lizzy’s publication was made in bad faith, with the intention to misinform the public and escalate an already sensitive legal matter.
The legal team warns that further steps will be taken to protect their clients’ names and ensure accountability.
