‘I have no business with fraud,’ D’Banj says after release by ICPC

Nigerian singer, Oladapo Oyebanjo aka D’banj, has confirmed his release from Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) custody.

The singer was released by the commission on Friday after spending over 72 hours in detention.

He was arrested by ICPC in connection with the alleged diversion of funds in the N-Power programme on Tuesday.

The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development had invited the ICPC after discovering discrepancies in the payment to beneficiaries of the programme which started in 2016.
