Multiple media reports alleged that D’banj might be dragged to court by a top oil and gas industry player.
Nigerian music
superstar D’banj is still in celebration mood with parties and concerts
around the world celebrating his 10th year anniversary as an
entertainer; however his alleged debt allegation crisis that seems to have died down has reared its ugly head up again.
In the last quarter of 2014, multiple media reports alleged that D’banj might be dragged to court by a top oil and gas industry player,
Henry Ojogho, Vice Chairman of Broron Group. Ojogho, who is also the
Vice Chairman of MindHub Technologies, an integrated Rice farming and
milling production company, who alleged that D’banj, through his
company, DKM Media Limited, obtained a loan of over N60m from him in
January 2013 and has not paid back the said sum despite signing an
undertaking to do so.
Following this allegation, the writ of summons
and other relevant documents in the suit was posted on D’Banj’s
residence on Osaro Isokpan Street in Lekki Phase 1. The pasting was done
by the court bailiff on December 17, 2014 at about 1:35p.m, pursuant to
order of court made on November 12, 2014 having been satisfied that the
defendant was evading being served the notice.
Subsequently, the
court case between the DB Records boss and Mindhub Technologies bearing
suit number: LD/ADR/445/14 was scheduled to commence hearing on Monday,
January 26, 2015 at the Multi-door Courthouse in Obalende, Lagos, but it
was indefinitely postponed as a result of strike by the Judiciary Staff
Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) which paralysed activities and court rooms remain closed.
The strike was
recently called off by the judicial workers, and immediately a new date
was set for the court case. Speaking exclusive with NET, a source in the
camp of the claimant’s camp said, ‘Yes, we are back to court, and we
are aware that D’banj has secured the services of a lawyer as well who
wants to file
in some documents in his defense, but we are yet to receive the papers.
Meanwhile the case has been adjourned to March 30, 2015 at the
Multi-door Courthouse in Obalende, Lagos.
In January 2015,
D’banj kicked off his 10th year anniversary celebrations in Lagos when
he successfully brought in American twerk queen Amber Rose to host the
kick-off party in Lagos. In February he moved the party to South Africa
where he was hosted at ‘Harlem’ and ‘Kong’ night clubs with a lot of
celebrities in attendance. And just last week Thursday, February 27,
2015, D’banj headlined the Industry Night celebrations in Dubai as part
of his 10th anniversary celebrations where he performed alongside
Kenya’s Sauti Sol, Dubai’s G Mac and others.
