The Director of Information, United Nations Information Centre for Nigeria, Joseph Kayanja, confirmed to journalists on Wednesday.
Responding to an inquiry, however, the UN said that D’Banj was never at any time given the title of ambassador by the UN. The PUNCH reported.
“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.”
Dbanj who recently signed an endorsement deal with Heritage Bank to mark his 40th birthday, is currently a subject of police investigation.
