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. Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, addressed the media in Abuja confirming that after a thorough review of testimonies & evidence, the army found no grounds to substantiate Ogunleye’s claims against Colonel Abdulkareem.
