Nigerian musician/businessman, D’banj has broken his silence after his release from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) over an alleged crime of fund diversion.
Speaking about the situation, D’banj took to his Instagram account where he shared a picture of himself with the caption, “Global thank you to the world. I was invited to an ongoing investigation in ICPC.
“I have assisted the commission with all I know and I am confident in their capacity to unravel the truth. I have no business with fraud, all I do is chop life. I was released on self-recognition because nothing was seen or found on me. God bless you all my people.”
Confirming D’banj’s release, his lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, said the singer was released on self-recognition but didn’t confirm if he was on administrative bail.
The lawyer said, “Nothing incriminating was found on him. He was released on self-recognition. Right now, we expect the ICPC to give a letter of clearance to D’banj because, as we have always said, he is innocent of the charges brought against him.”
If you would recall, we reported last week that D’banj was arrested when he visited the ICPC to answer questions bordering on his alleged involvement in the fraudulent diversion of monies earmarked by the Federal government for the N-Power project.
The N-Power project is an empowerment program set up by the Nigerian government in 2016 to address youth unemployment and increase social development.
