Renowned Nigerian radio personality Kayode Oladotun, also known as Do2dtun, has received a restraining order from the Chief District Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, within the Federal Capital Territory.

This order prohibits him from making derogatory remarks about the musician Oladapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, on social media or any other public platform.

Furthermore, the court has instructed the Deputy Inspector of Police from the Force Intelligence Bureau to investigate a criminal complaint filed by D’banj against Do2dtun and present a report to the court within two weeks.

This injunction was granted by Justice Emmanuel Iyanna on October 18, 2023, in relation to Motion No.: MN/218/2023. A certified, accurate copy of the ruling was obtained by a reporter from Punch.

According to Punch's report, D’banj sought the injunction through one of his legal representatives, Toheeb Lawal from the Abuja-based legal firm Law Corridor. The purpose of this injunction is to prevent Do2dtun from disseminating purportedly damaging and defamatory statements about D’banj on social media.

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.
