Rape: Seyitan Is Ok, Dbanj’s Team Pressured Her To Recant Allegation – Actress Dorcas Shola Fapson Alleges
Actress and presenter, Dorcas Shola Fapson, has alleged that Seyitan Babatayo who accused popular musician, D’banj of raping her, was pressured into recanting the allegation.
The lady had allegedly gone missing following her release from prison on Wednesday after her arrest on Tuesday.
According to a series of tweet by Fapson, Seyitan has been spoken too, adding that the lady said she was pressured into recanting her rape allegation against D’banj.
I just spoke to @seyitannn_ . She’s ok now. She was arrested and had all her things seized & left in a cell with criminals. D’banj’ team pressured her into those tweets & threatened to leave her in prison if she didn’t recant the allegation.

Fapson in a follow-up tweet said;
D’banj told Seyitan that he has paid his lawyers 25m & she doesn’t stand a chance against him.
THE POOR GIRLIS SCARED & obviously doesn’t have the money/resources to fight this!— Dorcas Shola Fapson (@Ms_DSF) June 18, 2020
The actress claimed that D’banj’s affluence and wealth is being used to silence Seyitan.
WE CANNOT ALLOW MONEY/POWER/STATUS to silence @seyitannn_ !!!!
@iamdbanj you are foul & disgusting. I knew that from our ‘encounter’ in LA. But this?? No.— Dorcas Shola Fapson (@Ms_DSF) June 18, 2020
She also called out Glee Hotel – where the incident allegedly occurred – urging them to release CCTV footage from 2018.
DEMAND THAT @hotel_glee RELEASE THE CCTV FOOTAGE FROM THAT DAY!!!!

Ayodeji Osowobi, a gender activist and founder of Stand To End Rape, corroborated Fapson’s claim, saying;
Seyitan is fine everyone. She just wants to be alone, gather her thoughts together and recover from her overnight experience in @PoliceNG’s cell. Thank you so much for your calls, advocacy and support.💜
