Popular Nigerian singer, Dbanj who is currently involved in a rape case has been allegedly stripped of his Heritage bank endorsement deal.
Over 15,000 people have signed the petition to strip dbanj of UN appointment and all His Endorsement Deals.
They also called the attention of brands such as Heritage Bank Africa, One Africa, CSA Global, and other establishments associated with D’Banj to end their commercial relationship with him and stand in support of victims of s e x u a l violence.
The petition which was started by one E.Pooola 20 hours ago on Change.Org had hit 15,000 as of 3pm on Friday.
It read in part,
“We call on the United Nations, and United Nations Women Africa organisations to remove Nigerian artiste Mr Dapo Oyebanjo as a youth ambassador and distance themselves from his actions following the sponsored kidnap of Seyitan who accused D’Banj of r a p e and s e x u a l assault which happened in 2018.
. “Women in Nigeria are increasingly at risk of s e x u a l violence and the United Nations and United Nations Women Africa as an entity committed to the empowerment of women should not be seen to associate themselves with alleged r a p i s s t s, abusers, and kidnappers.
“We ask the United Nations and United Nations Women Africa to support and lend their influence in helping Seyitan get justice for the abuse she endured in 2018 and the harassment and bullying in the past weeks.”
