The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) confirmed on Wednesday the arrest and detention of Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo, otherwise known by his stage name, D’Banj, over the investigation of fraud associated with the N-Power Programme.

The confirmation by the ICPC is coming several hours after PREMIUM TIMES exclusively broke the news of the musician’s ordeals.

The N-Power is a scheme established by President Muhammadu Buhari on 8th June, 2016, to address the issues of youth unemployment and empowerment, and help increase social development.

In its statement Wednesday afternoon, the ICPC said:

In line with its mandate, the Commission had received numerous petitions on the diversion of N-Power funds running into billions of naira following the approval and release of such funds to the beneficiaries by the Federal Government. Many N-Power beneficiaries had complained over the non-receipt of the monthly funds in spite of payment by the Government.

About 10 persons have been invited by the ICPC over the last few months in connection with the N-Power fraud, and have been granted administrative bail after their detention. Several invitations to Mr. Oladipo Daniel Oyebanjo (D’banj), to appear before a team of investigators were ignored and not honoured.

Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” Trump wrote. “Those living in Israel, though, are a different story — Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.!” he continued. In an interview last year, Trump said' “The Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel," adding: “There’s people in this country that are Jewish no longer love Is In an interview last year, Trump said'...

Soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds - Elon Musk announces changes to Twitter's logo

Billionaire Twitter owner, Elon Musk said on Sunday, July 23 that he was looking to change Twitter's logo, tweeting: "And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds". In a post on Twitter early Sunday morning, Musk added: "If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we'll make (it) go live worldwide tomorrow."   Musk posted an image of an "X", and later in a Twitter Spaces audio chat replied "Yes" when asked if the Twitter logo will change, adding that "it should have been done a long time ago".   Under Musk's chaos-filled tenure, since he bought Twitter in October, the company has changed its business name to X Corp, reflecting the billionaire's vision to create a "super app" like China's WeChat.
