Anjorin, who was seething in anger in the series of videos she posted online, also claimed that Abraham delivered of her baby at a traditional midwife’s place, rather than at a hospital.
Shortly after Anjorin’s rants were posted online, Abraham’s lawyers wrote to Anjorin, warning her to retract her posts and apologise to Abraham or risk being sued. Responding, Anjorin’s lawyers also threatened to counter-sue Abraham.
Meanwhile, Abraham also released a video showing her at the Vedic Lifecare Hospital, Lekki, Lagos, where she delivered of her baby.
According to the narrative in the video, Abraham’s delivery was handled by foreign doctors.
As the controversy continued to rage online, many fans wondered why ‘elders’ in the industry didn’t intervene in the squabble, which they termed infantile and embarrassing.
However, in separate chats with SATURDAY BEATS, some elders in the industry expressed concern over the issue and revealed that they had actually made moves to mediate in the crisis.
The President of the Theatre Arts and Movie Practitioners Association of Nigeria, Bolaji Amusan, aka Mr Latin, told one of our correspondents that he had spoken at length with Abraham’s husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi.
“As an elder, apart from being the president of TAMPAN, I have seriously intervened. I got in touch with the Ajeyemis and spoke with the husband at length. He told me that things would be sorted out,” Amusan said.
Actor and director, Antar Laniyan, also said he had told Anjorin to stop the online attacks. The film-maker, who is noted for his discipline on- and off-screen, said, “Yesterday (Wednesday) night, I called Liz Anjorin and told her that I wanted her to stop throwing shade at Toyin Abraham. Somebody has to talk to Toyin too, to ask her to stop throwing a tantrum. I tried getting in touch with her but I couldn’t.
“Fortunately, her husband is a very good guy to me. I also got in touch with the TAMPAN president, Mr Latin, and he told me he had fixed a date when some elders would sit down with both actresses and talk to them. I just hope they will obey and stop all that they are doing.”
Veteran actress, Fausat Balogun, aka Madam Saje, said she didn’t want to get involved as she didn’t know the root of the matter.
She stated, “I don’t really know much about the issue, but Iya Rainbow and I have tried reaching out to Liz Anjorin to discuss the issue.
