Seyitan Eunice Babatayo who accused sensational singer, D’Banj of raping her in 2018 is reportedly missing.
Seyitan had taken to Twitter yesterday to debunk rumors of her arrest and revealed that she would be moving on from the case. However, there are reports that she has gone missing. According to a Twitter user identified as Chioma Chuka, all efforts to reach Seyi who was supposed to meet with the PPRO this moring is nowhere to be found.
It was also stated that she did not get home yesterday and that she has not been in contact with her family or lawyer. So Miss Seyitan Eunice Babatayo who was supposed to meet with @PoliceNG PPRO this morning is nowhere to be found. She’s not answering calls or in contact with her lawyer or family. There is strong reason to believe she didn’t get home last night #StateOfEmergencyGBV
It is unconscionable that women in Nigeria cannot speak up about sexual violence done to them without fear of more violence.What is this pressure on Seyitan to recant if Dbanj is not guilty? Didn’t they already ask for 100m in damages? Why not allow the law take its course?
We have it on good authority that she is being pressured and induced to recant her testimony. Dear @PoliceNG, you’re already culpable for being a willing tool to harass and intimidate a citizen who accused Dbanj of rape. We will hold you accountable if anything happens to her.

So apparently Seyitan is being held by Dbanj’s manager somewhere on the island and she apparently did not go home from the police station. She is being coerced into recanting her statement. They’ve tried money, now it’s coercion. Is this your fave?! https://t.co/37JKQFKxQG

Seyitan accused D’Banj a couple of weeks before this article of sexual assault.
Yesterday at about noon, Seyitan was and is still detained in Sodipo Ikeja and hasn’t been granted access to friends, family or a lawyer lawyers. https://t.co/UqdAlNXfnR”” Kiki Mordi (@kikimordi) June 17, 2020
I have reason to believe his deal has been delayed (which is the right thing to do) and this has led to D’Banj and his team coming after everyone including his ex manager who corroborated Seyitan’s story.

I spoke to her lawyers and they also have reason to believe she’s being coerced to recant her accusations but with no one having access to her it’s difficult to ascertain!
They have applied for bail and our fingers are crossed.”” Kiki Mordi (@kikimordi) June 17, 2020
I maintain that there is NO reason she has been held for that long in a police cell. She is not the first woman who has ended up in jail for telling their abuse story in the past couple of weeks!
