Iyabo Ojo Breaks Silence on Family Attacks, Says She Has No Regrets

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has broken her silence on persistent online attacks targeting her family, attributing the criticism to her activism and declaring that she has “no regrets”.

In a lengthy statement posted on Instagram on Wednesday, the actress urged members of the public to demand evidence from anyone making allegations against others rather than being misled by unsubstantiated claims.

“Anyone who alleges must prove. No one is above the law. Don’t be deceived. The law and justice will take their full course,” she wrote.

Ojo also cautioned against what she described as online manipulation, urging social media users to scrutinise claims made by people who allege that they have evidence without presenting it for public verification.

“It’s 2026. Please stop believing anyone who comes online to manipulate grown adults like you… Saying ‘I have proof, I have evidence’ without ever showing or posting the evidence for you to verify for yourself,” she said.

The actress said her public identity had always extended beyond acting and entertainment, stressing that activism had been an important part of her life.

“I have never been just an ordinary actress or celebrity,” Ojo said, noting that her activism has been central to her public life.

She maintained that she had no regrets about her activism despite the criticism and attacks directed at her and her family online.

“I have NO regrets. I repeat, I have NO regrets helping and fighting for those I fought for. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would. I just no longer bring it to social media,” she stated.

“All this noise these miscreants call ‘attacks’ is a result of my activism. And I honestly have no regrets because I have stood on the right path.”

The actress credited her faith for her resilience: “1 with God is a majority, and my confidence lies solid in Him. No one is bigger than God, so that no one can rewrite my story or my kids’ story. No matter how hard they plot, curse, defame, manipulate, twist and bark. My family and I are God’s chosen.”

Addressing concerned supporters, Iyabo said her family remains blessed and progressive despite the criticism.

“To all those- our amazing fans and loved ones who are truly worried- please be at peace. God is in control. His blessings in our lives are a testament to His grace, greatness, celebration, and protection. We have continued to progress, and my family and I will continue to do so in God’s likeness and glory.”

She also dismissed claims that she shares false information online: “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.”
