Singer, D’banj, has finally denied the claim made by a man identified as Benjamin Ese, with Instagram username @action_name, who accused him of raping his friend after gaining access to her hotel room in 2018.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that one Benjamin Ese, in a post shared on June 3 alleged that D’banj used his influence as a celebrity to obtain the key to his friend’s hotel room after she had rebuffed his advances and sexually assaulted her.

The 40-year-old demanded a public apology and threatened to legal action against his accuser when he shared pictures of a letter sent by his legal team to that of his accuser on Instagram on Tuesday.

“Today is exactly 1 week after my birthday and this will be the only time I will address the recent false allegations and lies from the pit of hell.
I have chosen to do so because the incident is a slap to my marriage and my beautiful wife, my entire family and those who believe in me. I did not want to dignify the slurs with a response but it appears my silence has empowered my accusers to think i have been scared into the shadows so I would like to state that This Accusation are false and ludicrous and Have been handed over to my Legal Team.
