Popular Nigerian singer, Dbanj has sued his rape accuser, Seyitan Babatayo for N1.5 billion Naira, LailasNews can confirm.
The singer had earlier demanded N100 million Naira from Seyitan Babatayo, but due to the recent turn of events, Dbanj, through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome Chambers, has asked Ms Babatayo to pay N1.5 billion Naira.
N1 billion was demanded in damages “over the untold embarrassment, derision, public ridicule, odium, obloguy, marital disharmony, mental agony and psychological trauma which the Defendants’ tweets and publication have caused the claimant.”
N500 million was demanded as “aggravated, punitive, and exemplary damages.”
The suit also demanded that Seyitan writes D’banj “a letter of unreserved apology for the offensive tweets and posts”.
D’banj’s lawyers also prayed the court to grant “an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from further publishing, tweeting or posting offesnive libelous statements.”

We yesterday reported that activist Segun “Segalink” Awosanya said Seyitan was not detained by D’banj’s team as claimed, though he did a turnaround today and stated that Seyitan didn’t lie and that she was indeed detained but not “kidnapped” by D’banj’s team as the “e-femists” claimed.
