Olajengbesi stated the pop star was released on self-recognition but didn’t confirm if he was on administrative bail.

“Nothing incriminating was found on him. He was released on self-recognition. Right now, we expect the ICPC to give a letter of clearance to Dbanj because, as we have always said, he is innocent of the charges brought against him,” he said.

D’banj was arrested and detained by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC) on Tuesday.

He was accused of fraudulently diverting millions earmarked by the Federal Government for N-Power project, an empowerment programme set up in 2016 to address youth unemployment and increase social development.
