“D’Banj has been questioned twice at the FCID, Abuja. He was questioned last week and also this week. We will leave no stone unturned as we investigate the matter," a top police source revealed.
The report also says Babatayo was invited to write a statement but couldn't make it because she had no means of travelling to Abuja and opted to visit a police unit in Lagos.
It would be recalled that Babatayo had come out to accuse the singer of raping her in 2018.
