Alleged Diversion of Funds: ICPC releases D’Banj as investigations continue

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) stated that it had released pop star, Oladapo Oyebanjo, aka D’banj, but investigations were ongoing.

Recall that D’banj was detained by the commission on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, after he had been questioned over his involvement in the alleged diversion of funds meant for the Federal Government’s economic empowerment programme, N-Power.

On his part, Pelumi Olajengbesi, the lawyer to the singer, said his client was released unconditionally by the commission.

However, the ICPC, through its spokesperson, Azuka Ogugua, maintained that the anti-graft agency was still investigating the matter.

“Investigations are still ongoing, please,” Ogugua said.

D’banj’s lawyers revealed that, “D’banj was released unconditionally after the ICPC did all they could to find something on him, but they found nothing on him.

“ICPC only started the investigation when D’banj was detained. They found nothing on him after he was properly questioned and drilled. They had to even go beyond the scope of their investigation, yet they found nothing. We are glad that they were professional about it. They treated him kindly and released him. He was released on self-recognisance.”

The lawyer insisted that there was no case in court. He said, “There is no case in court, D’banj was not charged to court by the ICPC. They can decide to come up with anything tomorrow, as it is within their power and responsibility. They are still doing their investigations and we expect them to clear him officially when they are done with it.”

During her first diary session with Biggie, Dede had described herself as an introvert who “doesn’t like people.” She also offered clarity on her decision not to hug other housemates, saying it stemmed from the fact that she didn’t know them before the show.

Dede’s admission has since sparked conversations on social media about mental health awareness and the importance of respecting personal boundaries.
