According to reports, the singer was taken in and detained by the ICPC on Tuesday after the commission ignored several calls.
He is now being investigated for allegedly diverting funds intended for the federal government’s N-Power project. A project launched in 2016 to address the country’s unemployment issues.
D’banj denied any involvement with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission’s fraud allegations (ICPC).
The musician was released on December 9, 2022, after he was said to have cooperated with the Commission during their investigation and nothing incriminating was found against him.
