Dapo Oyebanjo, more popularly known as D’Banj has emerged on social media after the damning rape allegations made against him yesterday. The entertainer was called out by a talent manager who is a friend of his alleged victim after he posted a message on social media, strongly condemning rape and advocating that the boy child be raised right in the light of recent events.
The talent manager, Otunba Benjamin Ease (who uses Instagram handle @action_ben) hopped on the app to make a shocking recount of how the singer allegedly raped his friend in December 2018.
The alleged incident happened after a Splash Off event in Victoria Island, where D’banj allegedly propositioned the alleged victim through a middle person. She turned him down. Otunba added that this unnamed victim was later lodged in a hotel a by friend, and allegedly, at around 2:40am, D’banj got a spare key of her room, broke in, and raped her.
Otunba decided to come out with this story after he saw D’Banj’s post condemning rape which he says is hypocritical. He wrote: “How you have the courage to post about rape is what baffles me. Quick story time—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 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 by her friend franklin cos my friend couldn’t go back to the mainland that day. My friend got a call from oyinda who at that time was dating dbanjs friend, telling my friend the amount of money dbanj was ready to spend on her if he agrees, but my friend turned down the offer because she wasn’t interested.
“Dbanj drove all the way 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 friends room and forcefully threatened he would walk her out of the room naked,Kept his fingers in her Vagina and repeatedly raped her.
“My friend was crying and dbanj turned deaf ears how wicked and heartless!!! And immediately he did that Dbanj left. So you still have the right to post on Rape it’s been two years my friend has been traumatized over this. And as at yesterday she threatened to commit suicide, she’s so livid and mad seeing a rapist like you post this. Take this post down and stop clouting, stop being a preacher of Rape cos you’re a rapist. I know I don’t have the power to push this but all Rapist will die a miserable deaths! #wearetired”
D’Banj who is yet to respond to the rape allegations, however posted a photo of the ‘Africa Together’ event featuring Aramide, Youssou N’Dour, Ayo and himself. The event is geared around the Corona Virus pandemic that has the world on a global lockdown. He captioned the post;
