Seyitan vs D’banj: Banky W reacts to rape allegation

Nigerian singer, actor cum politician, Banky W, has also given his thoughts on the rape allegation against fellow singer, D’banj.

The 39-year-old singer, whose real name is Olubankole Wellington, condemned the alleged arrest and intimidation of the accuser, Seyitan Babatayo, and expressed hope that justice will be served in the case.

Taking to Twitter on Friday, Banky W wrote: “The news lately has been so hard to read, but we must never support the oppressing or silencing of victims by the Police. If Dbanj truly was being falsely accused, then a ‘defamation of character’ lawsuit was the right move – but that’s where it should have stopped.”

Whether it was overzealous police officers/Dbanj/his handlers that orchestrated it – locking Seyitan and/or her Mom in jail, seizing her phone, preventing her from reaching her lawyers/family etc is completely wrong – and I hope Dbanj will denounce it himself.

“We all saw the vid that showed a sitting Senator physically assaulting a woman & then having her arrested. Victims will never speak up against oppression if we allow the system to silence them. Civil cases must be decided by the courts, never by the abuse of the Police Force”
