Audio UN Ambassadorial Appointment Debunked As D’banj Gets Backlashes Amidst Rape Allegation

The United Nations has distanced itself from Oladapo Oyebanjo, also known as Dโ€™Banj.

Having been accused of rape, D’Banj by Seyitan Babatayo, a matter is currently under investigation as directed by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.

Following the allegations against him, over 22,000 Nigerians had signed a petition on Change.org as of June 24, 2020 to strip him of his supposed United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace.

In 2012, Dโ€™Banjโ€™s publicists had claimed that the musician was the first Nigerian to be appointed a UN Youth Ambassador for Peace.

Reacting to an inquiry by PUNCH on the status of this purported ambassadorship, the UN replied saying;

โ€œI would like to confirm that the said Mr. Oladapo Oyebanjo aka Dโ€™Banj is not a UN Ambassador. The title was accorded to him by an obscure UN youth association which has nothing to do with the United Nations. I hope this clarifies.โ€
