Music star, Oladapo Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, has
broken silence after his release from the custody of the Independent Corrupt
Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.
The singer was detained on December 6, 2022 over allegations
of fraud associated with the N-Power programme.
D’banj was released on self-recognition by the ICPC on Friday.
D’banj thereafter took to his social media handles a few hours
after he was released and denied any fraudulent dealing.
The singer said he didn’t engage in fraud.
He said, “Global thank you to the world. I was invited on an
ongoing investigation in the ICPC. I have assisted the commission with all I
know and I am confident in their capacity to unravel the truth. I have no
business with fraud, all I do is chop life. I was released on self-recognition
because nothing was seen or found on me. God bless you all my people.”
However, the ICPC, through its spokesperson, Azuka Ogugua,
maintained that the anti-graft agency was still investigating the matter.
“Investigations are still ongoing, please,” Ogugua said.
D’banj’s lawyers also told Saturday Beats, “D’banj was
released unconditionally after the ICPC did all they could to find something on
him, but they found nothing on him.”
“The ICPC only started the investigation when D’banj was
detained. They found nothing on him after he was properly questioned and
drilled. They had to even go beyond the scope of their investigation, yet they
found nothing. We are glad that they were professional about it. They treated
him kindly and released him. He was released on self-recognisance,” D’banj’s
legal team led by Pelumi Olajengbesi, said.
