The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) confirmed on Wednesday the arrest and detention of Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo, otherwise known by his stage name D’Banj, over the investigation of fraud associated with the N-Power Programme.

The N-Power is a scheme established by President Muhammadu Buhari on 8th June, 2016, to address the issues of youth unemployment and empowerment, and help increase social development.

In line with its mandate, the Commission had received numerous petitions on the diversion of N-Power funds running into billions of naira following the approval and release of such funds to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government. Many N-Power beneficiaries had complained over the non-receipt of the monthly funds in spite of payment by the Government.

About 10 persons have been invited by the ICPC over the last few months in connection with the N-Power fraud, and have been granted administrative bail after their detention. Several invitations to Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo, to appear before a team of investigators were ignored and not honoured.

Mr. Oyebanjo turned in himself and was taken into custody at the ICPC Headquarters on Tuesday, 6th December, 2022, and is currently assisting the investigators to unravel the circumstances of the fraud allegations by the petitioners.

The investigation will be all-encompassing and also be extended to other collaborators of the fraud and the banks where the beneficiaries’ accounts are domiciled.

This press release has become necessary to set the record straight in view of the reports awash in the media. The investigation is ongoing and the Commission prefers not to preempt its outcome and also avoid the frenzy of a media trial.

Signed:

Mrs. Azuka Ogugua
Spokesperson, ICPC

A part of the lyrics goes " mogbolowonwon a le mu mi EMI dbanj" (dem no fit catch me I am dbanj)

Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo

On the other hand, no smoke without fire.

Let them query that minister of debt, borrowing and school feeding.
I know she's complicit.

Embarrassment

Huh

E remain P.Square own.

Last week,a lady came to my office and asked if he should send #50000 to psquare and his group on Instagram .

She claimed she has been picked to benefit from a scheme in which few people were selected to win #2m each after they all paid #2000 each for the form.

I was surprised to have seen someone who resembled Psquare in the video call asking the poor woman to send #50000 to claim #2m.

I then told her,it's a scam and she should disregard them.

How can celebrities also involve in online and offline scam?

It's well...

Busted

This one can no longer sustain his flashy lifestyle the next thing is to be stealing the money meant to help the poor masses

Even kokomaster No wonder Falz say all of una na criminals

Iamdbanj a whole mentor and role model of Iamdbull I just pray the allegations are false.

dbanj is broke!





most yolobas are arrogantly broke,because their owambe lifestyle won't let them become financially stable as most igbos are


Dbanj wen try to rub shoulders with his igbo master and way maker don baba j.


Now see him life!

Afonjas really need to learn the facts of financial management and humility from the igbos.

I pray dbanj survives this avoidable embarrassment.

Damn

Keep us updated

Nigerians are going to "alot", going through "alot", coming from "alot" and "alot" is happening underground.

I was thinking the empower 30k was paid to beneficiaries directly into their accounts and not through middlemen, I just hope there is a mix up somewhere, I hate to see a genuine hustler go down because of crumbs.
