The court injunction was given by a Lagos State Magistrate Court which sat on Wednesday, January 31st, 2018. According to the court, it issued an order of injunction

“restraining Ms Tonto Dikeh and Linda Ikeji Media from airing, showing, disseminating or broadcasting, either through television, blogs or the Internet the person, name, Face, image, likeness or picture of King Andrea Omodayo Igo Churchill in the King Tonto Reality TV Show produced by Linda Ikeji Media pending the hearing of the originating motion in the suit.”

This follows a suit filed by Churchill Oladunni in January 2018 at the family court stopping his son, King from featuring in her reality show. In his application, Churchill Oladunni wants to protect his son’s image and which he feels is being exploited for financial gains.
