In a series of posts on her TikTok account Ogunleyeruthsavage1, Ogunleye said that Colonel Abdulkareem made repeated sexual advances towards her, administered injections without her consent, forcibly evicted her from her residence and confined her to a psychiatric facility for several months after she rejected his advances.
The Chief of Army Staff ordered a comprehensive investigation.
