• According to the statement, ICPC is still investigating allegations of diversion of N-POWER funds by the singer
• The news that D'banj was arrested has also been debunked by the statement as it disclosed that the singer freely honoured the commission's invite

Popular Nigerian singer D'banj via his attorney has urged Nigerians to let the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) carry out its investigations.

Premium Times reported that the top music star was forced to surrender himself at their headquarters in Abuja on December 6, 2022, after he was finally cornered.

According to the statement issues by the singer's lawyer, he has no relationship with any government agency to the point of diverting funds meant for the public.

"Oladapo Oyebanjo best known as D’banj has no fraud contractual or incidental relationship whatsoever with any group or persons within or outside government in relation to the disbursement, operations, access or control of the operation of any government fund through an agency or its subsidiaries."

The statement was issued to clear misconceptions that the singer was arrested as he freely honoured ICPC's invitation when he got back into the country.

"It is instructive to state foremost that the report concerning the arrest and detention of Mr. Daniel Oladapo Oyebanjo is misconceived, malicious and prejudicial to the justice system anywhere in the world and we would advise that the general public be well guided."
