Nigerian singer, D’banj has filed a petition at an Abuja federal court for an injunction restraining his estranged brother-in-law, Do2dtun from making malicious and defamatory posts against him on social media.
The singer filed the petition through one of his lawyers, Toheeb Lawal.
The Judge, Emmanuel Iyanna, gave the injunction on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, in the case with Motion No: MN/218/2023.
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”.
The court ordered the Deputy Inspector of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, to investigate a criminal complaint brought by D’banj against Do2dtun within two weeks and report back to court.
Do2dtun had for weeks embarked on a social media campaign against D’banj. The media personality got married to D’banj’s sister, Taiwo, in 2013, and the union produced two girls.
Do2dtun made allegations that he was not allowed to see his children, but Taiwo said the claim by her ex-husband was false.
She said contrary to the allegations by her ex-husband over the custody of their children, the entertainer has access to their kids.
