D Banj Arrest And Charges: What Did The Nigerian Singer Do?

Posts on her social media at that time suggested that the accusations had been made up as a PR gimmick to promote a new D’banj single shortly before she disappeared for two days. According to The Guardian, the NGO Stand to End Rape apparently assisted in her finding (STER).

D’banj, also known as the Kokomaster or Bangalee, was born on June 9, 1980, in Zaria, northern Nigeria, to a devout church dignitary businesswoman from Shagamu, Ogun State, and an artillery unit commanding military officer. His siblings are Dbanj’s twins, Taiwo and Kehinde Oyebanjo.

D Banj Arrest And Charges: What Did He Do?

D’banj, a singer from Nigeria, has been held by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on suspicion of fraud.

D’banj was detained by the ICPC, according to a Premium Times report that was released on Wednesday, after continuously refusing to provide an explanation for his alleged role in the misuse of funds for the N-Power project.

N-power is one of the Social Investment Programmes (SIPs) that the Muhammadu Buhari administration launched to combat unemployment and enhance social development.

Before being taken into custody and locked up on Tuesday, the multi-award-winning artist reportedly had to present himself to ICPC operatives at the organization’s Abuja headquarters.

Before being detained, D’banj allegedly claimed he had engagements abroad while evading ICPC summonses for weeks, according to sources quoted in the piece.

The allegations state that D’banj and a select group of government representatives planned to utilize false recipients in the N-Power payment scheme, with money meant for recipients being tracked to accounts associated with D’banj.

The anti-graft bureau may charge D’banj with fraud and fund diversion after concluding its probe, according to information acquired by The Guardian.

D’banj learned how to play the harmonica from his late older brother, Femi Oyebanjo, who died in a plane crash at the age of seventeen. The song “All Da Way” from his debut album serves as the best illustration of how D’banj struggled to win his parents’ approval because his love for music exceeded his parents’ desire for him to enlist in the military.
