The Nigeria Police Force has grilled Musician, Dapo Oyebanjo, aka D’Banj, over allegations of rape, The PUNCH can confirm.
A statement was also taken from the Kokomaster who insisted that he never raped his
accuser, Seyitan Babatayo.
A top police source said;
“D’Banj has been questioned twice at the FCID, Abuja. He was questioned last week and
also this week. We will leave no stone un-turned as we investigate the matter.”
It was learnt that Seyitan was also invited to write a statement but she stated that she had
no means of travelling to Abuja and opted to visit a police unit in Lagos.
“Seyitan appealed with us that she had no means of travelling down to Abuja.
So, she has been given the option of reporting at the FCID Annex, Alagbon, Ikoyi,” the officer said.
The PUNCH had exclusively reported last week that the Inspector-General of Police,
Mohammed Adamu, had ordered an investigation into the allegations leveled against D’Banj.
The IG had referred the case to a Deputy Inspector-General of Police to handle.
Seyitan’s friend, Benjamin Ese, in a Twitter thread in early June had told the story of how
D’Banj allegedly raped Seyitan at Glee Hotel, Lagos two years ago in December 2018.
She said it happened at an all-white party where D’Banj allegedly offered her friend some
money to spend the night which she rejected until he surprisingly showed up in Seyitan’s
hotel room around 2 at the midnight.
“D’Banj drove all the way from Eko hotel where he was lodged and came down to glee
hotel in Victoria Island at midnight 2:40 am and collected the spare key from the receptionist,”
Ese said in the thread which has since sparked an outrage.
