The lawyers of Seyitan Babatayo, the young woman who stated that Dapo Oyebanjo, also known as D'banj, raped her in 2018, told Premium Times their client was forced to delete her tweets while in police custody.
Her lawyer also said that while in police custody, she was forced to post new tweets claiming she was not arrested and wanted to move on.
Per Seyitan's account, she slept in the same room, on the floor, with criminals.
What is the Nigerian Police telling us; that all Nigerians are equal but some are more equal than others?

What message are they passing across to the many survivors who are in the wing waiting for the right time to speak their truth? This is unacceptable.
