Pending the hearing of the main suit, which has been adjourned to September 2016, Justice O.H. Oshodi granted an injunction restraining Linda Ikeji from further use of the lawyer’s picture otherwise she would be held in contempt of the court and possibly committed to prison.
Olumide Babalola claims that before filing the suit against Ikeji, he had written to her to desist from further publication of his images but she allegedly did not heed his warnings.
