The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Wednesday confirming the detention of a popular artiste, Mr Oladipo Oyebanjo, also known as D’Banj, over allegations of fraud associated with the N-Power programme.
The spokesperson for the anti-graft agency, Azuka Ogugua, in a statement, noted that investigation was ongoing into the matter.
She said the N-Power was a scheme established by the Current Administration of President, Muhammadu Buhari on June 8, 2016, to address youth unemployment and help increase social development.
She said several invitations to Oyebanjo to appear before a team of investigators were ignored.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, on Wednesday, said it reported the sharp practices perpetrated by some payment service providers of its N-Power programme.
The ministry also said it never announced anyone as an ambassador of the National Social Investment Programme, which had the N-Power scheme as one of its arms.
