Nigerians on Twitter blasted D’banj for allegedly arresting Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused him of raping her at Glee hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, in 2018.
According to reports, Seyitan was arrested yesterday and detained in Sodipo police station, Ikeja, Lagos and allegedly hasn’t been granted access to friends, family or a lawyer. This arrest came 2 days after the singer, through his lawyers, asked Seyitan to pay N100 million as compensation for falsely accusing him of rape and tender a public apology.
A tweet from Seyitan’s account which was posted yesterday read; “I’m done with all these back and forth drama…Frank took me to the party and gave me the key to the room. I’m moving on and leaving everything behind me. Thanks and God bless”

I’m moving on and leaving everything behind me. Thanks and God bless— Aunty Seyitan (@seyitannn_) June 17, 2020
Twitter Naija reacted after Seyitan deleted all tweets from her Twitter account, including the rape accusations.They are now calling out Dbanj, saying Seyitan was forced to post that tweet, and that the singer is using his influence to intimidate her.

I hope everyone can see how Dbanj is abusing the power he has

Terribly disappointed Dbanj had his accuser detained, after he had done the right thing through his lawyers.
Whoever advised him to go this intimidation route, after his lawyers had appropriately intervened, has now helped him turn this into a messy scandal.

So, Dbanj has a SAN, a popular one at that defending him and they’re detaining someone without access to a lawyer or family, is that legal?
