Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has spoken out over persistent online attacks against her and her family, linking the criticism to her activism and insisting that she has no regrets about standing by her beliefs.
In a lengthy statement shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Ojo urged members of the public to demand evidence from anyone making allegations rather than accepting unverified 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.
The actress also cautioned social media users against what she described as online manipulation, urging them to scrutinise claims from individuals who repeatedly say they have evidence without making it available 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.
Ojo stressed that her public identity has always extended beyond acting and entertainment, noting that activism has remained an important part of her life.
“I have never been just an ordinary actress or celebrity,” she said, emphasising the role activism has played in her public life.
She maintained that despite the criticism and attacks directed at her and her family, she has no regrets about her activism.
“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,” she said.
Ojo credited her faith for giving her strength and resilience amid the controversies.
“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,” she wrote.
Addressing her supporters, the actress said her family remained blessed and continued to make progress despite the criticism.
She also rejected allegations that she deliberately shares false information online, challenging critics to verify her posts.
“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 added.
