D’banj Hot Over Rape Allegation

Nigerian musician, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo popularly known as D’Banj, is hot over alleged rape case levelled against him by a Nigerian lady known as Seyitan Babatayo.

D’banj is facing police investigations of alleged rape case where he was said  to have raped a lady in a hotel.

Some 15,000 persons have already signed a petition for UN to strip him off  his appointment.

Earlier on Friday, June 19, 2020, Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, ordered a probe into the rape allegations.

The order was in response to a petition written by Seyitan’s lawyer, Tommy Ojoge-Daniel.

The IGP served the order in a letter signed by DCP Idowu Owohunwa.

The letter was titled: ‘Re: Petition against (1) Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo (Aka D’Banj) for Rape Indecent Sexual Assault, Attempted Assault on Miss Seyitan Temidayo.”

D’banj is a UN Youth Ambassador. The petition is on Change.org and was initiated by a user named E. Popoola.

“We call on the United Nations, and United Nations Women Africa organisations to remove Nigerian artiste Mr. Dapo Oyebanjo as a youth ambassador and distance themselves from his actions following the sponsored kidnap of Seyitan who accused D’banj of rape and sexual assault which happened in 2018,” the petition reads.
