The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC) has detained Koko Master - Oladapo Oyebanji, more known by his stage name, D’banj.
It was reported that D’banj conspired with some compromised government officials to introduce ghost beneficiaries into the payroll of N- Power scheme, a project set up by the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on June 8, 2016 to address the issues of youth unemployment and help increase social development.
The allowance paid to those beneficiaries are then moved to accounts that have now allegedly been linked to the Musician.
The anti-corruption agency confirmed the musician's arrest for the diversion of N-Power funds. The Commission said: Several invitations to Mr Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo to appear before a team of investigators were ignored and not honoured.
"Mr Oyebanjo turned himself in and was taken into custody at the ICPC Headquarters on Tuesday, December 6 2022, and is currently assisting the investigators in unravelling the circumstances of the fraud allegations by the petitioners.
"The investigation will be all-encompassing and also be extended to other collaborators of the fraud and the banks where the beneficiaries' accounts are domiciled," an ICPC communique partly read.
