Some weeks back a lady named Seyitan had accused popular Nigerian Singer D’banj of rape.
In a series of tweet that went viral, the accuser revealed that the rape occurred after the All White Rendezvous Party in Eko Atlantic, December 2018. Where she lodged into the same hotel D’Banj had lodged his staff members.
She disclosed that she woke up to find D’Banj in her room, and when she asked what he was doing there, he asked her “if she was a baby” before sexually assaulting her.

D’banj denied the allegations stating that it is from the pit of hell. In an Instagram post, D’banj shared a letter by his Lawyer demanding an apology from his accusers.
On Wednesday, June 17th, 2020, Journalist Kiki Mordi shared that Seyitan was arrested and denied access to friends, family and legal representation by D’banj’ legal team.
Kiki Mordi revealed in a tweet;
I have reason to believe his deal has been delayed (which is the right thing to do) and this has led to D’Banj and his team coming after everyone including his ex-manager who corroborated Seyitan’s story.
I spoke to her lawyers and they also have reason to believe she’s being coerced to recant her accusations but with no one having access to her, it’s difficult to ascertain! They have applied for bail and our fingers are crossed.
I maintain that there is NO reason she has been held for that long in a police cell. She is not the first woman who has ended up in jail for telling their abuse story in the past couple of weeks! Everyone asking how we can help. We don’t know. We can’t reach her for now.
But by Wednesday evening a tweet by Ayodeji Osowobi revealed that Seyitan had been released.
Ayodeji’s report was then confirmed with a tweet from Seyitan revealing that she has been released.
Despite the news of her release, several people are saying there’s a possibility she is being coerced to retract her accusations against D’banj.
