Dbanj, the famous Nigerian singer, was recently accused of rape by a young woman named Seyitan Babatayo. However, according to a recent investigation by the Nigerian Police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (ICPC), he was cleared of all charges against him.
In an affidavit filed at the Abuja District Court by Abuja-based lawyer, Toheeb Lawal, it was concluded that the rape allegations against Dbanj lacked substantial evidence. The police investigation could not find a medical report showing that the victim had been raped, and no concrete evidence was provided to support the accusations of rape and sexual assault.
In addition, the complainant was forced to withdraw her complaint and end the investigation. His lawyer has submitted a letter to the Investigation Department of the Nigeria Police Force to inform of his desire to withdraw from the case.
This affair had a considerable impact on Dbanj’s reputation, putting his career in danger. He faced harsh criticism from the public and faced accusations of intimidation during the complainant’s arrest. However, with this investigation concluding his innocence, Dbanj now hopes to turn the page on this case and continue his career in the entertainment industry.
Dbanj’s initial reaction to these accusations was to publicly defend himself and steadfastly maintain his innocence. In a social media post, he said the allegations were false and absurd. He also indicated that he had entrusted this matter to his team of lawyers and that the Nigerian police would continue the investigations on the criminal side.
This case highlights the importance of treating allegations of rape and sexual assault with caution. It is essential to respect the rights of all parties involved and to rely on concrete evidence to judge a person’s guilt or innocence.
In the entertainment industry, where reputation and image are everything, this type of accusation can have devastating consequences. It is therefore essential to conduct thorough investigations to shed light on the truth and ensure justice for all parties involved.
In conclusion, Dbanj was cleared of the rape charges against him. The investigation by the Nigerian Police and the ICPC did not find sufficient evidence to support these allegations. This case highlights the importance of conducting thorough investigations and relying on concrete evidence before bringing serious charges against a person.
