The Upper Area Court I in Ilorin, Kwara State, has dismissed the criminal complaint suit filed against popular Nollywood actress and businesswoman, Elizabeth Anjorin, also known as Lizzy Anjorin.
The legal dispute, which involved Saheed Mosadoluwa (Ibile) and Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Limited, saw intense legal arguments from both sides.
A. M. Abdulraheem, represented the complainant, while Lizzy Anjorin was defended by a team of lawyers, including Prof. O. Y. Abdulhamid, , I. M. Adedo, Taofeeq Olateju, and Abdullahi.
The Attorney General’s intervention took over the case and applied for its termination.
Presiding over the matter, Yunus Kayode granted the Attorney General’s application, resulting in the dismissal of both the initial complaint filed on February 26, 2025, and the counter-complaint filed on March 11, 2025.
In delivering the judgment on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, the court stated, “Having listened to the submission from the complainant counsel and that of the defendant and particularly the application of the Attorney General to take up this case and pray for termination of the case, on this premise, the direct complaint dated February 24, 2025, and the cross-complaint dated March 11, 2025, are hereby terminated and the defendants are hereby discharged.”
In an interview on Friday, Lizzy Anjorin, described the case as a “cross-sue,” stating that she and the complainant became defendants.
“The case bordered on a land dispute and it all happened in Lagos. But the complainant went ahead to file a criminal suit against me in Ilorin, Kwara State. When I got there, I presented my evidence, cross-sued and both of us became defendants.
“I was summoned on Friday based on his case and I showed up, but we counter-sued him and on Tuesday, they sent his summon but he didn’t show up and when they wanted to continue with the case we filed against him, I withdrew it,” Anjorin said.
She expressed gratitude to her fans, lawyers, and the Ilorin judicial system.
