The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (lCPC) let D’Banj off its hook on Friday, Persecondnews has confirmed.

His lawyer, Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi, who asked the anti-graft agency to release on Thursday unconditionally that he was not involved in the alleged fraud, disclosed this on Friday.
