D’banj, a Nigerian Afrobeats musician, was arrested on suspicion of fraud when millions of dollars intended to help jobless youngsters establish companies went missing.
The artist, who claimed to be the scheme’s brand ambassador, has handed himself up.
The N-Power programme was initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016.
However, many recipients have been complaining for months that they have not received their funds.
Wednesday, Nigeria’s anti-corruption authorities issued a statement stating that “billions of naira” had been misappropriated.
Lawyers for D’banj – whose actual name is Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo – have refuted a charge by the anti-corruption agency that their client had disobeyed several summons.
According to reports, the artist handed himself in voluntarily on Tuesday and would participate in the inquiry.
