Popular singer, Daniel Oladapo popularly known as Dbanj has
charged the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social
Development, Sadiya Farouq, to provide evidence of money traced to his account.
Dbanj asked Farouq to explain to the world how he came about
the allegations of money linked to his account by the ICPC.
Speaking through his lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, Dbanj
threatened to institute legal action against the Minister and ICPC over the
alleged money linked to him.
Describing his arrest as an injustice, Dbanj charged the
minister and ICPC to apologize to him for his arrest.
Dbanj was arrested for allegedly diverting funds meant for
the Federal Government’s youth empowerment scheme, N-Power.
After 72 hours, the ICPC released the singer on
self-recognition.
However, the singer maintained that he had no criminal
record, stressing that his arrest was embarrassing.
A statement by Olajengbesi reads: “Nigerians must be told
the truth that D’banj is clean and have no criminal or fraud record.
“The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management
and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, who claimed to have instructed the ICPC
to detain D’banj must now be ready to explain to the world the money traced to
his account and the amount.
“We still demand that the minister provide the details of
the government authority D’banj allegedly collaborated with and provide the
account and N-power funds allegedly traced to Dbanj’s account.
“This is injustice and upon the instruction of our client,
we may head to court to seek redress, a public apology and compensation from
the ICPC.”
He maintained that ICPC detained him unjustly because
nothing incriminating was traced to him.
The singer said it was embarrassing that the ICPC could link
him to N900m fraud without any evidence.
