ASOKORO, Abuja – Highly respected Nigerian musician, Oladapo Oyebanji better known as D’banj celebrated his first success against a popular Disc Jockey, Kayode Oladotun, known simply as Dotun on air when he got an order to seal the lips of the DJ from talking nonsense and publishing nonsense to defame his character.
Justice Emmanuel Iyanna of Abuja Chief District gave an order restraining the DJ from posting defamatory statements against D’banj, on social media or any other platform.
D’banj through his lawyers, Toheeb Lawal, had filed an application for an injunction restraining Dotun from making malicious and defamatory statements against him and his personality on the social media.
After hearing from their legal team, the judge granted the order restraining the defendant either by himself, servants, privies, cohorts, representatives or any person deriving authority from him, from further making any malicious, intimidating or defamatory post directly at the complainant on any social media platform or news media pending the hearing and determination of the substantive case”.
The court also ordered the Deputy Inspector of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau to investigate a criminal complaint brought by the Kokomaster against Dotun within two weeks and revert to the court.
In the last two weeks, the DJ who was married to Taiwo, the sister of Dbanj had published several provocative statements against the singer and his family over his failed marriage.
Dotun and Taiwo who had two kids are separated.
However, in November, 2021, Taiwo instituted a divorce proceeding before Justice A.I Akobi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, alleging“unending reckless emotional abuse, forced abortion and vicious domestic violence,” by the DJ which she claimed adversely affected her health and general well-being.
Dotun had also made allegations that he was not allowed to see his two daughters but Taiwo believes his claim is false.
