JUST IN: D’banj finally addresses the N-power fraud claim.
Recall that the ICPC reported on Wednesday that D’Banj was present at their location as part of an ongoing investigation into fraud involving the N-Power Program.
The Hip Hop phenomenon responded to the development by pleading with the anti-graft bureau to conduct a thorough inquiry and advising the people to abstain from consuming media hyperbole.
He bemoaned the abundance of media stories that he was being held by the ICPC due to unproven fraud claims.
D’banj’s legal counsel, Maryam El-Yakub Musa, stated in a statement released on Wednesday that it has become imperative to issue a statement in order to provide clarity and correct misinformation in the media.
D’banj asserted, however, that he had no formal or informal relationships of any kind with any individuals or organizations inside or outside the Government.
Part of the statement read: “It is instructive to state foremost that the report concerning the arrest and detention of Mr Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo is misconceived, malicious and prejudicial to the justice system anywhere in the world, and we would advise that the general public be well guided.
“For the record, D’banj has no such contractual or incidental relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within or outside the Government in relation to the disbursement, operations, access or control of the operation of any government fund through an agency or its subsidiaries.
“D’banj has encouraged the Commission to carry out its investigation thoroughly to ensure that characters attempting to bring him into such ridiculous activities must be brought to book.
