Seyitan/D’banj’s Rape Saga

A lady identified as Seyitan, some weeks ago accused D’banj of raping her in December 2018, but he failed to react until Tuesday, June 16, when he filed a lawsuit, stating that the rape allegations leveled against him only ‘reopened painful scars’ of the loss of his son. D’banj, through his lawyers, Mike Ozekhome Chambers, demanded that Seyitan pays the sum of N100m within 48 hours or risk legal action

On Wednesday, journalist Kiki Mordi in a tweet said Seyitan and her mum were arrested by the ‘Koko master’. Later, Seyitan took to Twitter to deny being arrested stating that it was time she moved on. She also deleted the tweets where she made the allegations and to Twitter users’ surprise, she promoted the singer’s music effort. This generated outrages in the social media community, with celebrities also kicking against D’banj’s alleged action. Some of the celebrities who waded in are Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Rita Dominic, Banky W, among others.
