The United Kingdom medical practitioner tribunal service has vindicated and exonerated celebrity doctor and popular influencer, Dr. Olufunmilayo Ogunsanya, accused by his former girlfriend, Dr. Bolanle Aseyan of rape.
OsunDailyNG reports that Public Interest and Human Rights Lawyer, Inibehe Effiong via his Twitter on Wednesday, July 19th made the announcement where he noted that Funmilayo was exonerated of all charges levelled against him.
It was gathered that Dr. Olufunmilayo who had taken a temporary break from Twitter for personal reasons, in 2020, had been dragged before the UK’s Metropolitan Police on false allegation of rape.
However, upon investigations, Police found that the allegations were unsubstantiated, clearing the doctor of all charges.
Effiong shared the statement of Funmi’s exoneration, which reads; “Today, 19th July, 2023, the Tribunal has announced their decision and determined that all the allegations made against Dr. Funmi have not been proved.
“The Tribunal ruled that Dr. Funmi’s fitness to practice has not been impaired.
“It is important to state that the standard of proof at the Tribunal which resulted in their findings was based on a balance of probability; and not proved beyond reasonable doubt. This is very significant because it shows that the allegation had no iota of merit or credibility.
“This latest vindication of Funmi is a victory for all victims of false accusations of sexual misconduct. As one of the lawyers to Funmi in Nigeria, I’m excited by the outcome of the case at the Medical Tribunal.
“The false accuser, Dr. Bolanle Aseyan, is currently facing both civil and criminal lawsuits in Nigeria for her actions. No one should have to go through what Funmi has ensured these past years. False rape allegations should never be trivialized. It is evil and despicable.
“Funmi is doing well and he sends his regards to all those who have stood by him and believed in his innocence.Like I have always said, history will vindicate the just.
“It is pertinent to stress that Dr. Funmi has not only been exonerated of rape, he has also been exonerated of sexual abuse and emotional abuse falsely leveled against him by his ex.”
