Rape Allegation: Dbanj Warns Against Social Media Trial
Again, Nigerian singer, Oladapo Oyebanjo also known as Dbanj, has been called out on social media for performing at a crowded party in Abuja.
In a video that was posted by a Twitter user @Mslami_A, the musician performed one of his popular songs in a crowded house flanked by mostly women, none of whom was wearing a face mask.
In the new video posted on Twitter on Sunday, Dbanj is seen mingling with fans in contravention of the social distancing order given by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
@tflourish tweeted, “In a nation where there are no consequences for actions, this is what you get. Naira Marley did it and got away with it so why not D’Banj?”
@Seyitundeayantunde also tweeted, “Apparently coronavirus protocols are for poor people.”
“D’Banj is just confused…. Doesn’t he have a manager again?” tweeted @Deeeccoo
Some Tweeps argued that the Kokomaster ought to be sober and clear himself of the rape allegations first before attending social gatherings.
.
They also argued that it was unfortunate that it was mostly women that surrounded D’Banj when they ought to stand in solidarity with his accuser, Seyitan Babatayo.
.
However, many of the musician’s fans defended his action, insisting that he remained innocent until proven guilty.
You will recall that the government has arraigned many persons for flouting the Covid-19 guidelines, many of whom have been convicted and made to pay fines or sentenced to prison.
In April, popular actress, Funke Akindele aka Jenifa, and her husband were convicted by a magistrate court for hosting a party at their home during the lockdown.
