He also claimed that the ICPC didn’t trace any evidence of fraudulent activity to the singer.
“Nothing incriminating was found on him. He was released on self-recognition. Right now, we expect the ICPC to give a letter of clearance to Dbanj because, as we have always said, he is innocent of the charges brought against him,” the lawyer said.
However, according to Premium Times, two Nigerian banks have provided the anti-graft organization with extensive financial information regarding the matter.
D’banj was arrested and detained by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC) on Tuesday.
