Court bars Tonto Dikeh from featuring son in new reality show

A Lagos state magistrate court has barred actress Tonto Dikeh from featuring her son on her new reality show.

Dikeh’s estranged husband Olakunle Churchill had approached the court to protect their son “from undue indecent exposure and exploitation by the actress for personal gain and fame”.

He prayed to the court that his son be regarded as a minor who is not fit to make a decision for himself. ‎

An interim court injunction issued Wednesday restrained the actress from “airing, showing, disseminating or broadcasting any name, face, image, likeness or picture of King Andrea Omodayo Igo Churchill in the King Tonto Reality TV Show”.
