Police: Sexual assault case involving FCT resident not linked to Seyi Tinubu’s sister

The federal capital territory (FCT) police command says it is currently investigating a case of sexual assault involving Ebunoluwa Fatoyinbo, following a formal complaint.

The clarification follows a viral report on social media claiming that Fatoyinbo is the sister of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

The report alleged that one Oscar Ilochi assaulted the victim while she was working out alone in the basement area of the gym, adding that the facility’s CCTV footage has been requested as part of the investigation.

In a statement on Wednesday, Josephine Adeh, police spokesperson in the FCT, confirmed that the command has commenced an investigation into the sexual assault case.

However, the command in the statement did not state or acknowledge any connection between Fatoyinbo and Tinubu’s family.

Adeh clarified that the complaint is against Ilochi, a resident of Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja.

“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 statement reads.

“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 matter is currently under active investigation. However, the Command advises members of the public, particularly media practitioners and social media commentators, to exercise caution and ensure due diligence in verifying facts before disseminating information.”

Adeh asked citizens to rely on official communication channels for updates on police investigations within the capital.
