The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has cleared the air regarding the alleged sexual assault of one Miss Ebunoluwa Fatoyinbo, whom viral online reports claimed is a member of the family of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Widespread social media reports late yesterday (Wednesday) had claimed Fatoyinbo is the sister of Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, and that she was allegedly assaulted by one Oscar Ilochi while she was exercising alone in a gym basement, prompting an investigation that includes reviewing the facility’s CCTV footage.

The FCT Police Command in a statement issued yesterday evening confirmed that it has started investigation based on a formal complaint filed by Fatoyinbo.

“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.

“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,” the FCT Police Command said in the statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh.

It advised the public, including media outlets and social media users, to verify information before publication and rely on official police channels for updates on ongoing investigations
