A model scouts, Otunba Benjamin Ese, has accused a popular Nigerian hip-hop artist, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, generally known as D’Banj, of rape, declaring that the singer lacked all moral standings to preach against rape.
Ese, a talent manager, declared that D’Bang alleged raped his friend in 2018.
He made the allegation after the singer showed support by calling for justice for rape victims via his Instagram page.
The talent manager asked D’Banj to take down the post, tagged him a rapist and took to his Instagram page to narrate how the singer allegedly raped his friend at a hotel in Lagos.
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 2:40 am 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”
