The Nigerian police has denied allegations that they arrested and threatened Seyitan Babatayo, the lady at the centre of the D’banj rape allegations.

A source revealed that D’banj honoured the invitation of the police on three different occasions for interrogation and his statement taken.


However his accuser, Seyitan Babatayo repeatedly refused to show up. Her refusal to turn up to help in their investigation prompted them to send some officers to bring her.

It also added that they took that strict action on procedural grounds and not under the instruction of the award-winning music icon as it’s been carried around by the legal representative of the accuser.

The police source insisted that there might be a mix up by the legal representative of Seyitan over claims of being arrested and detained by Police operatives at Ikeja in Lagos for 24 hours.

The security official insisted that the alleged rape victim was only invited to give her written statement and also to be interrogated as it was necessary for her to come forward to give a statement to back up her accusation.

The allegations against D’banj whose real name is Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, began when Seyitan Babatayo accused him in early June of raping her two years ago.

The accuser alleged that the incident happened when she attended a big party organised by the musician and his management team.

The case has since garnered wide publicity with the Nigerian police chief ordering his men to investigate the rape allegation against D’banj.

The singer has also lost major endorsement deals after the rape allegations against him went into the public domain.

A group of lawyers has also called for his immediate arrest and subsequent prosecution after it emerged that the police arrested and intimidated Seyitan Babatayo on the directive of the music icon.
