I am to respectfully convey the directive of the Inspector-General of Police that you treat. Accept the assurances of my esteemed regards please.”

A twitter user, Benjamin Ese, in a Twitter thread, weeks back, had alleged that her friend, Seyitan Temidayo was raped by the singer at a hotel two years ago.

While D’banj has come out to deny the allegations and asked his make public and also pay him the sum of N100m in damages.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media platforms with D’banj currently being in the eye of the storm as his fans are divided.
