The United Kingdom Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) has cleared a Nigerian-born medical doctor and social media influencer, Olufunmilayo Ogunsanya, of rape and abusive relationship allegations levelled against him by ex-girlfriend, Bola Aseyan, in 2020.
Recall that Mr. Ogunsanya earned a degree from Nigeria’s Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State, Nigeria before, relocating to the UK in 2012, to complete his medical studies and launch a career.
In 2020, Ms Aseyan, a medical doctor and ex-girlfriend of Ogunsanya, took to social media to accuse him of sundry charges that included rape, domestic abuse and mental torture.
Mr Ogunsanya, who was at the time prominent on Twitter for his medical opinions and analyses, promptly admitted his involvement with Ms Aseyan but strongly denied rape and abusive charges and pushed out evidence that appeared to exonerate him at the time.
The Police in the UK intervened in the matter and found no evidence of wrongdoing against Mr Ogunsanya. A referral to the General Medical Council was also investigated before the matter was ultimately taken before the MPTS.
The MPTS, after thorough investigation, cleared Ogunsanya of rape and abusive relationship allegations that Aseyan raised against him in 2020.
