After almost 72 hours in custody, popular singer Oladapo ‘D’banj’ Oyebanjo, has been released by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
According to reports, D’Banj, arrested and detained by the ICPC on Tuesday over ongoing investigation into the diversion of N-Power programme funds, was released on Friday afternoon.
The ICPC disclosed that about 10 persons have been invited over the last few months in connection with the N-Power fraud, and have been granted administrative bail after their detention.
The Commission also disclosed that D’Banj has made statements to assist investigators to unravel the circumstances of the fraud allegations by the petitioners. The investigation followed numerous petitions on the diversion of N-Power funds running into billions of naira.
The N-Power is a scheme established by President Muhammadu Buhari on June 8, 2016, to empower unemployed graduates.
