The drama between Nigerian singer Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo popularly known as D’banj and Seyitan Babalola, the lady who alleged that the popular entertainer raped her in a hotel room two years ago, has taken another turn as a new report has it that the Nigeria Police Force has invited the popular entertainer for questioning over allegations of rape.
According to a report by The Punch, D’Banj was grilled by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Adaku Anya, at the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Garki, Abuja.
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 unturned 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.
WITHIN NIGERIA reported last week that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had ordered an investigation into the allegations levelled 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.
