Popular singer, Oladapo Oyebanji, also known as Dbanj has reportedly been arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission ICPC over fraud allegation.
According to PREMIUM TIMES, Dbanj was arrested and detained Tuesday after ICPC operatives closed in on him, forcing him to surrender himself at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
Dbanj is being accused of fraudulently diverting hundreds of naira earmarked by the Nigerian government for N-Power project, an empowerment programme set up by the Nigerian government in 2016 to address youth unemployment and increase social development.
Investigators allege that D’banj colluded with some compromised government officials to introduce ghost beneficiaries into the payroll of the scheme. The stipend paid to those beneficiaries are then paid to accounts that have now allegedly been linked to the pop star.
