It was learnt that the singer, who had failed to honour his summons for months, surrendered himself on Monday. He was then reportedly detained and denied bail.

D’banj had reportedly connived with corrupt government officials to introduce ghost beneficiaries into the payroll of the funds, and the monies were later traced to accounts associated with the singer.

But reacting, his close associate, Mallam Yankee, said that the reports on the arrest of D’banj were wrong.

Yankee said that the singer was invited but was not arrested.

“I’m aware, he was invited and not arrested. The person they are looking for is his business partner,” he added.
