Court restrains OAP Do2dtun from ‘defaming’ D’banj
A Chief District Court of the Federal Capital Territory at Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has restrained on-air-personality Kayode Oladotun popularly known as Do2dtun from posting defamatory posts against singer Oladapo Oyebanjo, aka D’banj, on social media or any other platform.
Famous Nigerian OAP Kayode Oladotun, popularly known as Do2dtun, has been ordered by a Chief District Court in the Federal Capital Territory’s Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, to refrain from making slanderous comments against musician Oladapo Oyebanjo, also known as D’banj, on social media or any other platform.
In addition, the court directed the Force Intelligence Bureau’s Deputy Inspector of Police to look into a criminal complaint filed by D’banj against Do2dtun and provide a report to the court in a fortnight.
On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, Justice Emmanuel Iyanna granted the injunction in the matter involving Motion No.: MN/218/2023; Punch’s reporter was able to secure a certified accurate copy of the ruling.
According to a report by Punch, D’banj applied for an injunction to stop Do2dtun from sharing allegedly malicious and defamatory statements about him on social media through one of his attorneys, Toheeb Lawal of the Abuja-based legal company Law Corridor.
In granting the application which has D’banj as the complainant and Do2dtun as the respondent, Iyanna granted “an 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 directing at the complainant (D’banj) on any social media platform (X, Instagram, etc) or news media pending the hearing and determination of the substantive case”.
Additionally, the court instructed that the Force Intelligence Bureau’s Deputy Inspector of Police look into a criminal complaint filed by D’banj against Do2dtun and submit a report to the court in a fortnight (Two weeks).
It would be recalled that Do2dtun has repeatedly dragged the musician after alleging that Dbanj’s sister, whom he was married to, had denied him access to their kids.
