Will people dash him money or will it give him a boost in his career? No. This is a man missing out on his growing kids and he is hurting.

    “Some will call him weak for crying out like he has, others calling him toxic for throwing it all in. He is fighting with all he has and that’s where he was pushed to. I can say this cos I got to this point too.”

    Popular media personality, Dotun Ojuolape aka Do2dtun has continued to drag his ex-wife, Taiwo Omotayo on the internet following her refusal to grant access to his kids.

    “Taiwo, as usual, you have quickly activated your Brother’s extensive PR machinery to claim that I can now access my children at any time. You claim your legal team “initiated contact”. You even went a step further to say your Lawyer spoke with Daddy Freeze.

    “Now, I have it on good authority that in contravention of the order of the court and in the face of an existing contempt charge, my children are no longer in Nigeria!!! This was why you were insistent in your charade of a statement that I should not post any detail about your claim to have granted me access to the children.

    “Taiwo Oyebanjo, I challenge you, today the 15th of October to send me a location within Nigeria where my children are, and I will be there within 5 hours!

    “Anywhere in Nigeria, Taiwo!! No video calls, no WhatsApp calls, no audio calls. I have never posted my children’s location, so your attempt at gaslighting me and the entire country has failed woefully!

    “You claim I blocked you when indeed you were the one that blocked me on all lines, social media, and even the phone number that the children could reach me on. Taiwo, please tell me, did I block my children’s phone numbers too? You claim you said I could have the kids for Festive Period when in fact you said I could not have them at all. I have attached a screen recording of my chat with you where you stated categorically, that the kids are spending the festive season with you.

    “I have also attached my messages to you from 14 December 2022 to July 2023 which did not deliver after you blocked me! You said in your statement that since I filed the Contempt charge, I didn’t reach out. How would you have received my messages when you have blocked me everywhere and even categorically told me that I would not be able to have the kids!! Till today, I remain blocked on your Phone!

    “Taiwo Oyebanjo, I will be happy to be proven wrong that my children are still in Nigeria!! Send me their location Taiwo, I will be there within 5 hours! Taiwo, I say your lies scare the living daylight out of me.”

    “For 8 years I tolerated your sexual abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse. I can never recover from the trauma and pain you caused me. How did you expect me to raise the girls in that type of environment?

    “This is not Dapo’s battle!!! Leave him out! All he did was help and cover your shame as you couldn’t keep up with your responsibilities and you are here fighting with D’banj.

    “Were you married to him or me? All Dapo ever did was help us The car (Honda CRV) you have had since we got married and still have today was a brand new gift from Dapo.

    “Dapo paid several rents so we did not live on the streets, I started working for Mohits fresh out of college after working at Deloitte before I met you and you are lying to your social media family that my mum made me quit my job.

    “You encouraged me to keep working for Mohit for our own benefits so we would not have to beg. I was abused for several years and ran for my life, this has nothing to do with Dapo.

    “You’re using him to chase clout like you have always done. DOTUN YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE STOP MISLEADING THE PUBLIC!!! They are NOT with my brother or family so stop deceiving everyone.

    “It is obvious that you are not interested in seeing your daughters but obsessed about Dapo, and how to hurt him which has been your goal from the very beginning. Every decision I have made was to protect the girls from your abuse!”

    What type of Christian behaves like a Tyrant?

    Is this how Christ commanded us to carry ourselves as Christians?

    Is it the same God we serve?

    You can’t be a Christian and glorify Satan with your actions.

    You can’t be a Christian only when it’s convenient for your ego.

    “No matter the cause of the break-up, children should not be used as pawns in a bid to punish your Ex, especially one that really wants to be in their lives.

    Justice For Dotun”.
