Justice Emmanuel Iyanna of the District Court in FCT Abuja has prohibited well-known on-air-personality Mr Kayode Oladotun otherwise known as Do2dtun, from sharing defamatory posts against popular singer Oladapo Oyebanjo, aka D’banj, on social media or any other platform.
D’banj had through one of his legal practitioners, Toheeb Lawal, filed an application to the court for an injunction that would restrain Do2dtun from making spiteful and defamatory posts against him on social media.
While passing judgement the application which has D’banj as the complainant and Do2dtun as the respondent, Iyanna granted the order restraining the defendant (Do2dtun) either by himself, servants, privies, cohorts, representatives or any person deriving authority from him, from further making any malicious, intimidating or defamatory post directed at the complainant (D’banj) on any social media platform or news media until the hearing and determination of the substantive case was concluded.
The law court had also ordered the Deputy Inspector of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau to inquire into a criminal complaint brought by D’banj against Do2dtun within two weeks (a fortnight) and revert to the court.
Do2dtun had for weeks commenced a social media onslaught against D’banj.
Recall that the OAP was married to D’banj’s sister, Taiwo, in 2013 and the union produced two girls.
But things went sour in November 2021 when Taiwo launched a divorce proceeding before Justice A.I Akobi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, over alleged “continuous reckless emotional abuse, forced abortion and vicious domestic violence,” by Do2dtun, which she claimed adversely affected her health and general well-being.
Do2dtun on his part had also claimed that he was not permitted to see his daughter but Taiwo had alleged that the claim by her ex-husband was untrue.
According to Taiwo, contrary to the false claims by her ex-husband, the entertainer always has access to their two daughters.
