‘D’Banj is not a UN ambassador’ – United Nations confirms

The Director of Information, United Nations Information Centre for Nigeria, Joseph Kayanja has disclosed during an email chat with The PUNCH on Wednesday that sensational singer, D’banj is not and was never a United Nations Youth Ambassador for Peace.

According to the director, D’Banj was never at any time given the title of ambassador by the UN. The email read in part, “I would like to confirm that the said Mr. Oladapo Oyebanjo aka D’Banj is NOT a UN Ambassador. The title was accorded to him by an obscure UN youth association which has nothing to do with the United Nations. I hope this clarifies.”

It can be recalled that In 2012, D’Banj’s publicists announced that the musician was the first Nigerian to be appointed a UN Youth Ambassador for Peace. Following the rape allegations levelled against D’Banj by Seyitan Babatayo, an online petition was started calling on the UN to strip the musician of the title
