Oladapo Oyebanji, better known as D'banj, a Nigerian singer, has urged the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to conduct a thorough investigation while urging the general public to resist the urge to buy into media sensationalism.
He bemoaned the media's coverage of him being detained by the ICPC on unsubstantiated allegations of fraud.
He stated that it has become critical to issue a statement for clarity and to correct public records.
This was stated in a statement issued on Wednesday by D'banj's legal adviser, Maryam El-Yakub Musa.
Recall that the ICPC confirmed D'Banj's arrest and detention on Wednesday as part of an investigation into fraud related to the N-Power Program.
However, D'banj stated that he has no contractual or incidental relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within 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
