Fresh controversy is brewing in Nollywood after actress Lizzy Anjorin made a series of allegations involving actor Baba Ijesha, his partner Luminee, and several figures within the movie industry.
The claims have quickly sparked debate online because they touch on one of the industry’s most controversial figures and raise questions about divisions, influence, and long-running tensions within the entertainment community.
What Lizzy Anjorin Alleged
Lizzy Anjorin has claimed that certain individuals in the movie industry are allegedly working behind the scenes to frustrate Baba Ijesha and force him out of Nollywood.
According to the actress, she advised Baba Ijesha and his partner, Luminee, not to share videos and updates online because she believed some people were waiting for an opportunity to criticize and attack them publicly.
She further alleged that a group was formed after news emerged that Luminee was expecting a child with Baba Ijesha and that plans were allegedly made to target the couple online.
Anjorin also claimed that some prominent figures in the industry had been determined to damage Baba Ijesha’s career and reputation.
The comments come amid intense public discussion surrounding the actor following the recent announcement that he and Luminee had welcomed a baby boy.
The latest controversy highlights how deeply divided opinions remain regarding Baba Ijesha.
Years after his legal troubles dominated headlines, his name continues to trigger strong reactions both inside and outside the entertainment industry.
For some Nigerians, the conversation is about accountability and public perception. Others view it through the lens of rehabilitation and whether individuals who have served their sentences should be allowed to rebuild their lives and careers.
Anjorin’s allegations have also reopened discussions about power dynamics within Nollywood and whether personal rivalries influence public narratives about celebrities.
The claims remain allegations, and no evidence has been publicly presented to support assertions of organized efforts against the actor.
Public Reaction
Social media reactions have been mixed.
Supporters of Baba Ijesha believe he is being unfairly targeted and argue that he should be allowed to move forward with his life and career.
Critics strongly disagree, insisting that public scrutiny surrounding the actor is a consequence of past events rather than any coordinated campaign.
Others are focusing on Anjorin’s allegations themselves, questioning whether there is proof behind the claims and calling for facts rather than speculation.
The next development to watch will be whether any of the individuals mentioned directly or indirectly in the allegations choose to respond publicly. Many will also be watching to see if the controversy creates fresh divisions within Nollywood.
