D’banj: Police Discloses Stand on Rape Allegation

The Police Force Headquarters in Abuja has stated that it was discontinuing the alleged rape case involving Singer Mr. Oladayo Oyabanjo aka D’Banj and the accuser, Ms. Seyitan Babatayo for lack of evidence.

The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba who spoke stated that the investigators could not establish any evidence which might support the allegation against D’banj.

He also disclosed that there were still underground investigations of the allegations ongoing, said the case had been officially closed by the Police.

Emphasising on why the Police halted the case, DCP Frank Mba said: “Essentially, we decided to discontinue the investigation into the case for two reasons.

“One, after an exhaustive investigation that took our investigators even up to the hotel where the incident allegedly took place, and so many other actions that we took, we have not been able to establish any corroborative evidence in support of the allegation.

“Secondly, the complainant, through her legal representatives, has voluntarily withdrawn the petition. For these two reasons, a decision was taken to discontinue the investigation.”

Recall that Ms Seyitan Temidayo Babatayo had withdrawn the petition against Mr. Oladapo Oyebanjo aka D’Banj for rape, indecent sexual assault and threat to life.
