The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has denied viral claims that the woman at the center of a recent sexual assault case, Ebunoluwa Fatoyinbo, is related to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s family.
Social media had been awash with reports alleging that Fatoyinbo, the victim in the case, is the sister of Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son.
The incident allegedly took place in the basement of a gym, where Oscar Ilochi is accused of sexually assaulting Fatoyinbo during her workout session.
Authorities have since launched an investigation, including reviewing CCTV footage from the scene.
In a statement released Wednesday, FCT Police spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh confirmed that a complaint had been received but stressed that there is no verified connection between Fatoyinbo and the Tinubu family.
“The FCT Police Command is aware of a circulating publication on social media alleging that the Command has commenced an investigation into a case of sexual assault involving Miss Ebunoluwa, purportedly referred to as the sister of Mr. Seyi Tinubu, son of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,” Adeh stated.
“The Command wishes to clarify that a formal complaint of sexual assault was indeed lodged by Miss Ebunoluwa Mitchell Fatoyinbo against one Oscar Ilochi, a resident of the Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja.”
Adeh urged the media and the public to verify claims before dissemination and to rely on official statements from the police for accurate updates.
