PHOTOS: D’banj Absent From Court Over His Debt Lawsuit

The debt lawsuit that was filed against D’banj took place on Monday 30th of March 2015.

At the court proceeding at the Multi-door Courthouse, Obalende, Lagos, D’banj was absent.The DB Records boss was however represented by his lawyer, Dele Adeshina, who was in turn represented by a junior lawyer from his chamber.

The claimant, Henry Ojogho was also absent and was represented in court by his lawyer, Benedict Onyeabo as both teams filed their papers to kick off proceedings. After deliberations, the presiding judge, Justice (Mrs.) Oyebanji adjourned the case till May 7, 2015.

The debt allegations against Dbanj surfaced in November 2014 as Henry Ojogho, Vice Chairman of Broron Group and Vice Chairman of MindHub Technologies, alleged that D’banj owes him and has refused to pay.

The debt, according to Henry, came to be through a loan of over N60m obtained through D’banj’s company, DKM Media Limited in January 2013 but which the ‘Oliver Twist’ singer is yet to pay back despite signing an undertaking to do so.

There are also claims that the entertainer issued two cheques – one on December 20, 2013 and another on January 20, 2014, both of which had to be returned unpaid after presentation because the pop star’s accounts were not funded enough.
