D’banj Debt Mess Scandal : Pop Star D’banj Absent in Court , Case Adjourned till Another Time

The much-anticipated debt mess scandal for Nigeria pop singer D’banj, was finally held  it’s first sitting on Monday, March 30, 2015 .

At the court first proceeding meeting at the Multi-door Courthouse, Obalende, Lagos, D’banj was absent.

The music superstar, entrepreneur and DB Records boss Dapo Oyebanjo, know as D’banj, was absent at the first hearing, but was represented by his lawyer, Dele Adeshina, who was in turn represented by a junior lawyer from his chamber.

However, the claimant also, Henry Ojogho, was also absent at the court first hearing, just like the Banga Lee,  he was represented in court by his lawyer, Benedict Onyeabo as both teams filed their papers to kick off proceedings. After deliberations, the presiding judge, Justice (Mrs.) Oyebanji adjourned the case till May 7, 2015.

If you can recall that the debt allegations against Dbanj surfaced in November 2014,  as Henry Ojogho, Vice Chairman of Broron Group and Vice Chairman of MindHub Technologies, alleged that D’banj owes him and has refused to pay. The debt, according to Henry, came to be through a loan of over N60m obtained through D’banj’s company, DKM Media Limited in January 2013 but which the ‘Oliver Twist’ singer is yet to pay back despite signing an undertaking to do so.

Raising the stakes even higher, the man claimed that the entertainer issued two cheques – one on December 20, 2013 and another on January 20, 2014, both of which had to be returned unpaid after presentation because the pop star’s accounts were not funded enough.
