Sensational Artist Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, better known by his stage name D’banj, has been accused of rape.
A Nigerian model scout, Benjamin Ese, on Wednesday called out Dbanj for allegedly raping his friend two years ago.
Benjamin Ese accused D’banj of rape after he joined the revolution against rape and police brutality in the country as he took to his instagram handle to make a post on his page
Dbanj post reads:
“#NoMeansNo, we need to raise our sons in the right way and teach them to love and respect women.
“We need justice for our girls, Say no to rape, racism and tribalism. Let us stop living in FEAR and HATE , and start living in LOVE.”
Reacting to D’banj’s post one Benjamin otumba known as @action_ben, took to his Instagram page, claiming that Dbanj shouldn’t be speaking against rape, alleging that he raped his friend.
He claimed that Dbanj in a time raped his friend after offering her N200,000 in exchange for sex, Which she refused.
As stated by Benjamin, the incident occurred in a hotel in Victoria Island Lagos State.
He claimed that the music star collected the spare key to the girl’s hotel room from the receptionist and allegedly raped her.
Although Benjamin decided to keep the identity of his friend anonymous. he added that she decided to keep mute after the incident due to stigma.
His post reads:
“How you dare to post about rape baffles me. On the 30th of December 2018 at Eko Atlantic an event called splash off which was an all-white party, franklin your manager then invited my friend to the party, On getting there Dbanj sighted her and sent a few people to talk to her, but she refused.
My friend left the party and went to glee hotel in Vi where she was lodged then my friend got a call from Oyinda who at that time was dating Dbanj’s friend, telling her the amount of money Dbanj was ready to spend on her if she agrees, but my friend turned down the offer because she was not interested.
“However Dbanj drove from Eko hotel where he was lodged and came down to glee hotel in Victoria island at midnight 2:40am and collected the spare key from the receptionist, obviously it’s Dbanj a fucking celebrity rapist, he would be given a spare key, got into my friend’s room and forcefully threatened he would walk her out of the room naked, Kept his fingers in her Vagina and repeatedly raped her. He left immediately he did that.”
He further stated that his friend has since been traumatized by the event and threatened to commit suicide after seeing the singer’s post on rape.
However, Dbanj has remained silent and is yet to respond to the allegations.
There has been indignation all over the country over the rape and death of UNIBEN student Uwaila Omozuwa many prominent figures in the country has spoken against the killing of uwa and also demanded justice.
