Popular Twitter Doctor, Olufunmilayo exonerated by UK’s Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service of allegations of inappropriate conduct falsely levelled against him by his ex-female friend, Dr Bolanle Aseyan
The United Kingdoms Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service have exonerated popular Nigerian Twitter doctor, Olufunmilayo Ogunsanya who was accused of r@pe by his ex-girlfriend, Bolanle Aseyan.
In October 2020, Bolanle in a series of Twitter accused Olufunmilayo of s£xually abusing her. Posting via her handle @bola_aseyan, Bolanle who is based in the UK, accused Olufunmilayo of being a different person from what he presents online, and added that she has proof of all he allegedly did to her. She further revealed that she didn’t press charges earlier because it will make him lose his license as a medical doctor. See to see her tweets
Olufunmilayo denied the allegation and dragged the matter before the UK Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service. After three years of trial, Olufunmilayo was today exonerated. The Tribunal ruled that the claims made by Bolanle were ‘determined but found not proven’. The tribunal then ruled that his fitness to practice as a doctor in the UK is not impaired.
Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who is also Olufunmilayo’s lawyer here in Nigeria, disclosed this on his Twitter handle this morning, He shared screenshots of the judgement from the tribunal. He also disclosed that Olufunmilayo had been dragged before the UK’s Metropolitan Police on the false allegation of r@pe. He said the UK Police cleared Olufunmilayo free after an investigation as the police found that the allegation was unsubstantiated. He said that Bolanle who was bitter at the way Olufunmilayo ended their relationship, went ahead to file a complaint against him at the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2020 in the hope that he will lose his practice license.
Inibehe stated that the Tribunal today ruled in favour of Olufunmilayo. He added that Bolanle is currently facing both civil and criminal cases in Nigeria.
