The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has issued a clarification regarding a sexual assault case involving Ebunoluwa Fatoyinbo, distancing the incident from any connection to the family of President Bola Tinubu.
This clarification follows widespread social media rumors suggesting that Fatoyinbo is the sister of Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son.
The reports alleged that Oscar Ilochi sexually assaulted Fatoyinbo while she was working out alone in a gym basement, prompting an investigation, including a review of the gym’s CCTV footage.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Josephine Adeh, the FCT police spokesperson, confirmed that the police had initiated an investigation based on a formal complaint filed by Fatoyinbo.
However, Adeh emphasized that no evidence has been found to establish any familial ties 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,” the statement read.
“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 further urged the public, including media outlets and social media users, to ensure they verify information before publication and rely on official police channels for updates on ongoing investigations.
