D’banj Slams ₦1.5b Suit Against Lady Who Accused Him Of Rape

Oladapo Oyebanjo, a singer better known as D’banj, on Friday sued Seyitan Babatayo, a Nigerian lady, who accused him of rape for N1.5 billion.

In a suit signed on by Mike Ozekhome, his lawyer, and brought before a federal high court in Abuja, the hip hop star demanded N1 billion from his accuser for general damages which he said her allegation had caused him.

He is also requesting another N500 million from the lady for aggravated punitive and exemplary damages.

“An order directing the defendant to pay to the claimant, the sum of N1,000,000,000 (One billion naira) only representing general damages over the untold embarrassment, derision, public ridicule, odium, obloquy, marital disharmony, mental agony and psychological trauma which the defendants tweets and publications have caused the claimant,” the suit partly read.

The lady had alleged that D’banj raped her at Glee hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, in 2018 — a claim the entertainer had outrightly and consistently denied.
