Seyitan Withdraws Rape allegations against D’banj

A rape allegation against Nigerian pop artist, Oladapo Oyebanjo aka D’Banj has been withdrawn.

The accuser, Seyitan Babatayo has written a letter to the police withdrawing her petition.

The letter was sent to the Inspector-General Police through a lawyer of the petitioner, Olamide Omileye, saying Seyitan was withdrawing from the case for personal reasons.

The letter read in part, “We hereby officially notify you of our client’s intention to withdraw and discontinue her petition against Mr Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo aka D’Banj for personal reasons. Our client further humbly applies that the investigation and all other action that is currently being carried out by the police with respect to the statement.”

In his response to the letter, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Admin), Umar Sanda, said the investigation had discontinued due to lack of evidence.

“In view of the foregoing facts, the investigation was discontinued as no substantial evidence to prove the allegation of rape against the suspect.”
