A lady
identified as Seyitan had accused D’banj of raping her at Glee hotel in
Victoria Island, Lagos, in 2018.
Mavin Records
boss, Michael Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy, has given his opinion on the
rape accusation against his former business partner, Oladapo Oyebanj aka
D’banj.
Recounting
the incident via her twitter handle, @seyitannn_, she said that he raped her in
her room. She ended her tweets by demanding an apology.
However,
D’banj went silent on the matter until June 16 a week after his 40th birthday
celebration.
The singer,
through his lawyers, Mike Ozekhome, demanded that Seyitan pays the sum of N100m
within 48 hours or risk legal action.
However,
incidents took a different turn barely 48 hours after the Nigerian singer’s
action.
BBC
Investigative Journalist, Kiki Mordi, took to Twitter to allege that Seyitan
was arrested and pressured to retract her rape statement – a claim Seyitan said
was untrue.
She said: “I
don’t know where all these rumours are coming from. I and my mom were not and
have not been arrested.”
Seyitan also
added that she is moving on from the drama surrounding the rape allegations.
“I’m done with
all these back and forth drama…Frank took me to the party and gave me the key
to the room. I’m moving on and leaving everything behind me. Thanks and God
bless,” she tweeted.
However,
despite her statements, many commentators stated that she was forced to change
her statement.
Reacting on
Thursday, Don Jazzy condemned rape and also urged the public to give those who
get accused of rape a chance to prove their innocence before the law.
