Nigerians on Twitter have slammed singer D’banj for allegedly arresting Seyitan Babatayo, the lady who accused him of raping her at Glee hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, in 2018.
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.

The 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 about 2 hours ago reads; “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 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
Twitter Naija took to the platform to react after Seyitan deleted all tweets from her Twitter account, including the rape accusations.
Nigerians are now dragging and “cancelling” Dbanj, saying Seyitan was coerced to post the new tweet, and that the singer is using his influence to intimidate her.

Dbanj is guilty as fuck. It's now so glaring.

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.
Just reading that her mum was arrested too. Lool this is clearly oppression at this point. Dbanj is really a piece of shit for this one.

.@iamdbanj Why have you had a woman who accused you of rape detained without access to her friends, family or legal representation? Threatening and silencing her does not acquit you.

If you’re not guilty why are you detaining her mum too?! You want to show them you are Dbanj. Fuck you, Dbanj!
