The marriage between on air personality Do2dtun and wife Omotayo has reportedly crashed due to alleged forced abortion, domestic violence, and emotional abuse.

Do2dtun got married to Omotayo in 2013 and the duo have two children together.

Omotayo had in November 2021 instituted a divorce proceeding before Justice A.I Akobi of Court 23, High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In suit number GWD/PET/25/2021, Omotayo alleged “unending reckless emotional abuse, forced abortion and vicious domestic violence” by her husband, which she claimed had a negative effect on her health and general well-being.

Court documents signed by Omotayo’s lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, alleged that Do2dtun forced his wife to abort her third pregnancy as a married woman.

Following the hearing, the court granted divided custody of the children, which Omotayo did not oppose, pending the final determination of the suit in court.

Omotayo’s lawyer further claimed that on December 14, the OAP stormed his client’s Abuja residence with some policemen whilst breaking into the premises, assaulting her staff, and hauling insults at her person.

Omotayo, through her lawyer, thereafter, petitioned the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja, on unlawful entry, malicious damage, criminal trespass and unlawful use of policemen by Do2dtun.

The petition dated December 14, and stamped to show receipt by the office of the DIG, said the invasion left Omotayo in a “state of emotional distress and fear of imminent danger in the hands of the Defendant (Do2dtun), who remains volatile and unpredictable”.

“In view of the facts stated in this petition, we humbly request that you use your good office to conduct a dispassionate investigation into our client’s petition and cause an appropriate action in line with the law to be taken against the Defendant in order to guarantee the safety of our client and for the interest of justice.

“In addition to the above, we request that the identity of the Nigeria Police Force officers who engaged in the unlawful act at the bidding of the defendant be made known to the public, and necessary action be taken against them so as to preserve the integrity of the NPF that has been painstakingly built over the years.”

Reacting to the allegations against him via Instagram earlier today, the Cool Fm radio host called out his wife’s brother D’banj and their family for spreading lies about his marriage, while threatening to expose  the family’s “wicked and deceitful ways.”
