Following the filing of a formal complaint, the FCT police command has opened an investigation into claims of sexual assault against Ebunoluwa Fatoyinbo.
The police action comes after a widely shared social media post claiming that Fatoyinbo is linked to Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.
The woman reportedly worked out alone in the gym’s basement when Oscar Ilochi raped her, according to the article, which also stated that the CCTV video of the establishment was being examined as proof by the investigators.
Josephine Adeh, the FCT’s police spokesperson, said in a statement on Wednesday that the command had opened an investigation into the sexual assault allegation.
However, there was no mention of any connection between Fatoyinbo and Tinubu’s family in the police statement.
The complaint, according to Adeh is directed at Oscar Ilochi, an Abuja resident who resides in Apo Legislative Quarters.
“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 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,” the statement reads.
Adeh asked citizens to rely on official communication channels for updates on police investigations.
