N1.5 billion suit: Dbanj promises giveaway to real victims of rape

Nigerian singer, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo, popularyly known as Dbanj, has vowed to do giveaway for the real victims of rape if he wins the N1.5 billion suit against Seyitan.

The singer who has since maintained his innocence in the rape allegation brought against him by Seyitan, has sued for N1.5 billion.

He however made the statement this weekend while responding to a fan on Twitter @EkehWest, who asked him to give his fans a share of the money when he gets it.

“Promise us also that you will do giveaway from that 1.5b,” he tweeted.

In his response, Dbanj promised to do a giveaway for the real victims of rape and also to the helpless people rendering support to Seyitan, his accuser.

He wrote:

“Of course I will, for the real victims of rape and the helpless. @kikimordi@AyodejiOsowobi.”

The singer had earlier demanded N100 million Naira from Seyitan Babatayo, but due to the recent turn of events, Dbanj, through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome Chambers, has asked Ms Babatayo to pay N1.5 billion Naira.

N1 billion was demanded in damages “over the untold embarrassment, derision, public ridicule, odium, obloguy, marital disharmony, mental agony and psychological trauma which the Defendants’ tweets and publication have caused the claimant.”

N500 million was demanded as “aggravated, punitive, and exemplary damages.”

The suit also demanded that Seyitan writes D’banj “a letter of unreserved apology for the offensive tweets and posts”.
