Flames Ravage Iyabo Ojo’s Office After Threat Letter Surfaces; No Lives Lost

A fire erupted at Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo’s office in Lagos around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, engulfing the workspace in flames and smoke. A video shared by the actress on Instagram captured the terrifying blaze before emergency responders arrived. Thankfully, no casualties were reported.

Ojo praised the quick response of the Nigerian Fire Service and her diligent staff. “My office caught fire… thanks to the Fire Service and my staff for salvaging what was left,” she wrote. “Thankfully, no lives were lost. The devil tested us but God said no. With God on my side, we’ll bounce back bigger and better.”

The incident comes just two months after her daughter, influencer Priscilla Ojo, wed Tanzanian singer Juma Jux. In a shocking twist, Priscilla revealed that a threat letter was sent to her mother’s office soon after the wedding. The anonymous letter accuses her family of “putting someone’s life in trouble,” warns the wedding will be ruined, and states ominously, “you cannot escape in the next three months.”

Priscilla shared the letter’s contents publicly, calling the senders an “aggrieved group.” She disclosed that her mother was in Tanzania at the time and only learned of the message upon her return. The young influencer pledged to identify the delivery agent using security cameras and to submit all evidence to police.

Security experts suggest that such threats—followed by suspicious events like the fire—should trigger full-scale investigations. They call for a coordinated response by the Lagos State Fire Service and police’s arson unit to determine whether it was accidental or deliberate.

Ojo, known for her resilience, assured fans she remains unshaken despite the scare. “We will recover,” she affirmed, doubling down on her determination to rebuild stronger than before. Her words echoed a defiant spirit in the face of intimidation.

Followers and celebrity figures have moved swiftly to rally around the actress and her family. Supporters flooded social media with messages of solidarity, raising concerns over the safety of public figures and demanding swift justice.
