Nigerian entertainer and businessman, Oladapo Oyebanjo known as D’banj, has found himself in another controversy after he was captured performing at a party allegedlly hosted in Abuja.
This is coming after a Nigerian lady identified as Seyitan had claimed that the entertainer raped her in 2018.
The Inspector-General of police had also ordered a probe into the case and D’banj was flown to Abuja and interrogated by Adaku Anya, an assistant police commissioner.
But on Sunday, clips showed that the entertainer was unbothered about the rape accusations and also COVID-19.
The clips, which were said to have been from an Abuja party, showed the embattled singer coming within close proximity of showgoers without having a face mask.
According to The Cable, the event took place on Saturday, despite social distancing guidelines by the federal government to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
In the clip, D’banj can be seen singing with a microphone amid a deluge of dancing people while occasionally shaking hands, embracing others, and striking poses with both fans and admirers.
Apparently people flew DBanj in from Lagos for a party in Abuja last night. All the corona virus protocols flouted.
