The drama between popular Nigerian musician Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known as Dbanj and a lady identified as Seyitan Babatayo; who accused him of sexual abuse, appears to have taken a complete turn.
Just recently, the multiple award winning singer through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, sued Seyitan for the sum of N1.5 billion.
In addition, Seyitan is also expected to make an appearance in court within thirty days of which failure to do so may result in judgement being passed in her absence.
According to the court documents sent to Legit.ng, Dbanj is requesting the sum of N1 billion representing the general damages which were brought upon him by virtue of the tweets and publications put out by Seyitan.
