A Lagos State Chief Judge has signed an order that the Writ of
Summons be pasted on the wall of Dapo Oyebanjo a.k.a D’banj’s residence
in Lekki, Lagos as the saga over his alleged debt issues seem to be
heading towards a legal showdown.
This is contrary to prior reports making rounds that the artiste had tried to apologise to his creditors and settle out of court. What this implies therefore is that once the writ of summons is posted, the case becomes a public case and further investigations by NET reveal that the case will formally commence hearing in Lagos on January 25, 2015 at the Multi-
This is contrary to prior reports making rounds that the artiste had tried to apologise to his creditors and settle out of court. What this implies therefore is that once the writ of summons is posted, the case becomes a public case and further investigations by NET reveal that the case will formally commence hearing in Lagos on January 25, 2015 at the Multi-
door Courthouse, Obalende, Lagos. You may recall that D’banj’s debt
saga was revealed recently when NET broke the news of his multiple debt
mess and also reported that he may be dragged to court by a top oil and
gas industry player, Henry Ojogho, Vice Chairman of Broron Group.
Ojogho, who is also the Vice Chairman of MindHub Technologies, an
integrated Rice farming and milling
production company, alleged that D’banj, through
his company, DKM Media Limited, obtained a loan of over N60m from him in
January 2013 and has not paid back the said sum despite signing an
undertaking to do so. Since the news broke three weeks ago, D’banj, who
had just returned to the country on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 after
spending about 3 months in the United States of America, has refused to
make any comment on the issue. His only response or reaction so far was a
tweet on his social media account, which reads: ‘Silence, my response
to the false rumors.’ All efforts to get D’banj to comment so far have
been futile. He has been very evasive ever since the news broke, so much
so
that even when you run into him at events, he simply refuses to
grant any interviews and makes absolutely no comments. Before the case
was taken to court, D’banj was served a warning letter by Henry Ojogho
dated September 13, 2013, with the letter stating: ‘The above subject
matter, our several mails, telephone conversations and meetings between
you and our Vice Chairman refer. Recall that you agreed to act as a
guarantor for the payments owed to Mindhub by D Kings Men Media Limited
(the company) on account of investment made by Mindhub to the company as
contained in the Memorandum of Understanding dated 19th of October,
2012. This letter constitutes a FINAL NOTICE OF DEMAND to pay the
outstanding sum of USD 300,000 (Three hundred thousand Dollars) and N15m
(Fifteen million Naira) immediately as outlined in your personal
guarantee. Should you fail to
perform according to the executed personal guarantee within seven
(7) days of receipt of this letter we shall not hesitate to exercise the
legal rights and remedies available to Mindhub without further notice
to you, to compel performance of the Guarantee in accordance with its
terms. Further note that should we decide to exercise any of the
company’s rights and remedies under the guarantee, all costs and
expenses shall be fully borne by you.’ Since his return to the country
mid-November, D’banj who recently became the first African ambassador
for BeatsByDre has been part of virtually every major event in the
country. He was the special guest at the special event where
Oritsefemi’s new record label presented him with a new Range Rover
Evogue. He performed at the 2014 edition of DJ Jimmy Jatt’s Jump Off and
also performed at the grand finale of the recently-concluded Big
Brother Hotshots in South Africa. According to reports, he’ll also be
part of the 2014 Lagos Beach Soccer tourney, and he recently released a
banging new song titled ‘Feeling the Niqqa.’…
