Police denies detaining D’banj rape accuser, Seyitan as his rape scandal heats on

The Nigeria police have denied arresting and detaining Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused D’banj of raping her at an hotel room in 2018.

Recall that news broke on June 18 that Seyitan was arrested and detained by Police

operatives at Ikeja in Lagos for 24 hours. She was allegedly also denied access to her legal team.

Refuting the claims, a police source who spoke with Vanguard, said Seyitan was only

invited to give her written statement and be interrogated. Adding that, there may have

been a mix up by her legal representative.

The source revealed that both the singer and accuser were invited to the Force Criminal

Investigations Department, Abuja, to give written statements and for interrogation.

But on three separate occasions, Seyitan didn’t show up, which prompted the Force CID

to dispatch officers to Lagos to invite her for her written statement and interrogation on the alleged rape.

D’Banj have been trending on social media ever since the case was made public as some

fans went as far as attacking him for allegedly pressurising Seyitan into denying that she was arrested.

Seyitan some days ago also released her official statement on the case as she revealed

how she was arrested and detained as well as being treated like a criminal for an offence she

did not commit.

All fingers are crossed as we awaits the final judgement on the rape case that have cast

some doubt over D’Banj’s integrity and this has been allegedly cost him his endorsement with Heritage Bank.
