Alleged Rape: Police Denies Arresting and Detaining Seyitan

On the high profile alleged rape accusation on D’banj by a lady Seyitan Babatayo, the Nigeria police have denied arresting and detaining the lady.

In a press release, Seyitan stated that some police officers came to her house on the pretext of delivery, gained access and took her to the station where they also denied her 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.
