The order comes after months of heated disputes and public exchanges over the death of the singer and the paternity of his son, Liam.
According to the court, the decision is to shield Omowunmi and her child from harassment and defamation.
Baba Mohbad's son's last moments
Legit.ng recalled that Baba Mohbad, in one of his public engagements on his son's death, opened up on the final moment of the singer's death.
In a sit-down with activist VeryDarkMan, he shared how what started as a routine hospital update turned into the most devastating day of his life.
According to Mohbad’s dad, he received a call around 4:30 p.m. from Iya Moh, the late singer’s mother, saying Mohbad was at the hospital and not feeling well.
By the time they got to Osapa London bus stop at around 6:30 p.m., Mohbad’s father said he was already convinced things weren’t adding up. Eventually, they made it to the house around 9:00 p.m.

Lagos coroner rules on Mohbad's death
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Lagos State coroner has ruled on the case involving the death of singer Mohbad.
The court sat in Ikorodu on Friday, July 11, 2025, and Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, who presided over the case, acknowledged the maltreatment the singer suffered at the hands of Sam Larry and Naira Marley.
However, the court ruled that the mistreatment did not have a direct link to his death. Magistrate Shotobi concluded that Mohbad's death was caused by medical negligence and called for the prosecution of Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the nurse who treated the 26-year-old music star.
