Nigerian singer, Oladapo Oyebanji, popularly known better as
D’banj, has called on the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related
Offences Commission (ICPC) to carry out its investigation thoroughly while
urging the general public to resist the urge to buy into media sensationalism.
He lamented that the media has been awash with reports of
him being in ICPC’s custody concerning unestablished allegations of fraud.
He said it has become crucial to make a statement for
clarity and to set public records straight.
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by
Maryam El-Yakub Musa, the legal adviser to D’banj.
Recall that ICPC on Wednesday confirmed the arrest and
detention of D’Banj, over the investigation of fraud associated with the
N-Power Programme.
However, D’banj said he has no contractual or incidental
relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within or outside the
Government.
Part of the statement read: “It is instructive to state
foremost that the report concerning the arrest and detention of Mr Daniel
Oladapo Oyebanjo is misconceived, malicious and prejudicial to the justice
system anywhere in the world, and we would advise that the general public be
well guided.
“For the record, D’banj has no such contractual or
incidental relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within or outside
the Government in relation to the disbursement, operations, access or control
of the operation of any government fund through an agency or its subsidiaries.
“D’banj has encouraged the Commission to carry out its
investigation thoroughly to ensure that characters attempting to bring him into
such ridiculous activities must be brought to book.
