October 25, (THEWILL) – Taiwo Oyebanjo, the estranged wife of On Air Personality, Dotun Kayode, aka Do2tdun, risks jail term, as she has been found guilty of contempt of court for denying her children’s father access to them.
A high court sitting in Dukpa, Abuja, on Monday, Oct. 23, declared Taiwo, who is the younger sister of singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, aka Dbanj, culpable of contravening the order of the court involving the shared custody of the couple’s children.
She has been ordered to pay a fine of N200,000 within 30 days or risk jail term until the fine is paid.
Recall that in suit No. GWD/ PET/25/21, the court granted Do2tdun and his estranged wife shared custody of the kids after Dotun applied for it in April 2022.
Both parties initially complied, but Taiwo denied Do2tdun access to their children in December 2022.
Do2tdun sought legal redress and also resorted to publicising their issues on social media.
He also alleged on social media that his ex-wife had flown his two daughters out of Nigeria since June 2023, making it impossible for him to see them.
On Monday October 23, the court ruled and found Taiwo guilty of disobeying the court order, declaring that her refusal to allow Do2tdun access and custody to his children in December 2022 was disobedience to the Order of the Court and ordered that she pays the sum of N200,000 within 30days or risk jail term until the fine is paid.
