Police in Lagos have released Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused D’banj of raping her in 2018.
She was arrested on Tuesday after the musicians kicked against the accusation.
Babatayo is, however, not ending the matter there, according to the Financial Crimes Investigation her lawyers who said D’banj Division.
Premium Times quote them as saying:
“They arrested Seyitan this morning in Lagos. They arrested our client but somebody is already there to facilitate her release on bail.
“This matter is coming to Abuja by tomorrow; we are petitioning. The Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID) is taking up the petition tomorrow. That is all I can say about it for now.”
Earlier, D’banj’s lawyers, Mike Ozekhome Chambers, had served Ms Babatayo, asking her to pay the singer N100m within 48 hours as compensation for falsely accusing him of rape or risk legal action.
“We have been instructed to demand and we do hereby demand from you the following: That your client makes an outright apology and a total retraction of each and every false allegation made against and concerning our client.
“The said apology and retraction shall be published in four national dailies with wide circulation in Nigeria as well as on social media platforms and handles being used by your client and her hirelings.
“That your client makes a compensatory deposit of the sum of N100m only through this chambers in favour of our client to assuage his battered image,” they added.
