D'BANJ CLEARED BY NPF AND ICPC 

Koko master crooner, Dapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, has been cleared by the Nigeria Police Force and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) of allegations of rape and N-Power fraud.

According to a report by Punch, D’banj’s clearance was disclosed in documents obtained from both agencies.

In an affidavit submitted by Toheeb Lawal from Law Corridor, an Abuja-based law firm, to the District Court of Abuja, the Police and ICPC reports, marked as exhibits A and B respectively, confirmed D’banj’s clearance from both allegations. 

Recalls that the accusation of rape against D’banj in 2020 had prompted an investigation initiated by the Inspector General of Police.

According to the police report dated November 14, 2023, signed by ACP Y.Y. Abubakar of the Special Enquiry Bureau at the Force Criminal Investigations Department, “The allegation was thoroughly investigated. Investigation included inquiries at the Glee Hotel Lagos, where staff members provided statements regarding the alleged incident.

“The hotel’s management and staff confirmed that the suspect was not present on the alleged date and had no access to the complainant’s room.

“Additionally, there was no record of the complainant staying at the hotel on that date, nor were there any reports of an assault or rape.”

Also, a probe into the alleged N-Power Programme fraud by the ICPC against D’banj has established no evidence of wrongdoing against the singer.

In a document dated November 29, 2023, the ICPC said, “The commission’s investigation into N-POWER Scheme fraud involving Mr. Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo found no basis for fraud allegations against him.”

D’banj’s legal representative further clarified that the singer, who never held any government position, had no access to government funds, but only volunteered support for the N-Power campaign without any compensation from the government or any other entity.
