Popular Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson has reacted to the rape allegation that was levied against singer, D’banj by one Miss Seyitan.

The award-winning Actor revealed that he has officially canceled D’banj due to the way the whole issue was handled.

It can be recalled that after Miss Seyitan Eunice Babatayo accused Dbanj of rape, the singer would go on to file a N100 million lawsuit against her.

It was also reported that D’banj’s team got her arrested, made her retract/delete her old tweets and surprisingly she would go on to make post on her social media, promoting his songs.

Reacting to the turn of events, Timini Egbuson, said he has canceled Dbanj in his books, adding that it would be repulsive if it was all a publicity stunt.

See his tweets below ;

“I’m normally against cancel culture but Dbanj is cancelled in my books for real if this all some sort of publicity stunt. ?

Anyone with these type of accusations is foul and should face the full wrath of the law. What is even more disgusting than a cover up is using this as an opportunity to promote his next song, which was what I meant. “

Nigerian reality stars, Mercy Eke, Kim Oprah, Venita, and Diane have sent tongues wagging on social media.

The Big brother naija alumni took to Instagram to flaunt their banging bikini bodies while posing together by the pool side.

Diane Russet, while sharing the photos on her page, wrote in the caption ;

Girls just want to have fun ?.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered a probe into the rape allegations levelled against popular singer, Oladapo Oyebanjo aka D’Banj, by Seyitan Babatayo.

The order was contained in a letter signed by the Principal Staff Officer to the IG, DCP Idowu Owohunwa.

The IG’s letter was in response to a petition written to the IG by Mr. Tommy Ojoge-Daniel, a lawyer to Miss Seyitan Babatayo, who accused D’Banj of raping her in 2018.

The letter written by the IG is titled, ‘Re: Petition Against (1) Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo (Aka D’Banj) for Rape Indecent Sexual Assault, Attempted Assault on Miss Seyitan Temidayo

The letter read in part, “I forward herewith copy of letter dated June 5, 2020 received from Ojoge, Omileye and Partners on the above underlined subject. I am to respectfully convey the directive of the Inspector-General of Police that you treat.

“Accept the assurances of my esteemed regards please.”

Recall on the 3rd of June, 2020, Seyitan shared details of being raped by D’banj on Twitter.

A few days later, Seyitan followed this with a letter from her lawyers to the Dbanj. In the letter, Seyitan demanded an apology from D’banj.

The singer denied the allegation a week later, tagged it ”lies from the pit of hell” and said he’d be seeking justice by taking legal steps.

On Tuesday, however, some policemen allegedly acting on the instruction of the singer detained Seyitan for over 24 hours and intimidated her, making her delete all chats, social media posts and other vital information from her phone.

The incident elicited a wide range of criticism on social media with D’Banj trending on social media for the last two days

How do you claim someone falsely accused you of rape, then hold the person against her will, seize her mobile phone, delete all her tweets, and start promoting your new song on her account?
What manner of oppression is that?

Dbanj and whoever is advising him no get sense sha?

Nigerian celebrities have reacted to the ongoing saga between Dbanj and Seyitan, the lady who accused him of raping her in 2018.

Recall a lady identified as Seyitan took to her social media page to accuse award-winning singer, Dbanj of raping her in 2018.

Fast forward to 17th, June 2020, Dbanj responded to those allegations with a law suit and according to reports making the rounds, got the lady arrested and made her retract her statement.

Tiwa savage, Rita Dominica and MI Abaga are among the close associates of Dbanj that have now lent their voices on the messy situation.

Tiwa savage wrote; “I hear you all and even though this is heartbreaking for me, my view is still the same. I stand strong with the victims of all sexual abuse so I say this: 1. Victims should always speak out n speak their truth 2. those found guilty must be punished to d full extent of the law.”

Actress, Rita Dominic had this to say; “It is 60 years after independence yet the police continues to allow themselves be used to intimidate citizens. Intimidating a person who cries out that he/she has been raped is the worst kind. That is like victimizing them all over again.”

“Every1 involved in detaining Ms. Babatayo have a case to answer. Keeping quiet about this only serves to shut down victims & that’s not something we should encourage in our society. Defending oneself from a rape accusation should not include intimidation of the accuser.”

Award winning Rapper, MI Abaga, wrote; “Society will not improve if we do not tear down the systemic methods by which women and girls who accuse people of violating them are silenced. There can be no sacred cows on this issue..”

We cannot say that we stand with women, and then be silent towards actions that say to all women clearly, it is better to be silent than to speak.. any abuse of power and authority can not be accepted in this regard

To the brave women like Kiki Mordi @AyodejiOsowobi and @ozzyetomi who used their platform to fight over the last few hours.. thank you for your courage and leadership.. to all organizations silently working on the behalf of victims of gender based violence.. thank you

Some days I am ashamed to be a man because of how much we have failed our sisters, mothers, friends and daughters.. today is one of those days.. and I know if I do not speak out today I will be complicit in a system that tells women.. “shut up and don’t say anything”

Society will not improve if we do not tear down the systemic methods by which women and girls who accuse people of violating them are silenced. There can be no sacred cows on this issue..
