Nigeria: D’banj released by the ICPC after self-recognition

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission  (ICPC) has released well-known Nigerian musician Daniel Oladapo, also known as D’Banj.

D’banj’s lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi announced the development on Friday, adding that the musician was released on self-recognition. The ICPC released Dbanj on grounds that he may be summoned later for further investigations.

Olajengbesi said the ICPC didn’t trace any evidence of fraudulent activity to D’banj. That claim could however not be independently verified at this time.

“Nothing incriminating was found on him. He was released on self-recognition. Right now, we expect the ICPC to give a letter of clearance to Dbanj because, as we have always said, he is innocent of the charges brought against him,” the lawyer explained.

Investigations show that two Nigerian banks have submitted detailed financial statements to the anti-graft agency in relation to the matter.
