She Threatened To Blackmail Me – Popular Twitter Influencer Dr Olufunmilayo Reacts To Sexual Assault Allegation
Popular Nigerian Doctor based in the UK and Twitter influencer, Dr. Harvey Olufunmilayo has on Tuesday finally reacted to the sexual and emotional assault allegations leveled against by his colleague.
It would be recalled that the lady who is also a doctor, Bola Aseyan, accused Olufunmilayo of sexually and emotionally abusing her in a series of tweets.
Subsequently, many Nigerians on Twitter called out Olufunmilayo, demanding that he responds to the allegation.
After hours of silence, the UK-based Doctor finally responded with a lengthy rebuttal statement.
In his post, the doctor stated that himself and Aseyan met on Twitter in 2019, started a relationship but it was never stable due to certain issues.
Olufunmilayo stated that in an attempt to salvage the relationship before it eventually finally ended, they talked about her going to the UK to visit him.
He disclosed that Bola is not a UK-based Nigerian doctor but only travelled from Nigeria to UK to see him after they got close in November 2019.
According to him, her initial visa for UK, which he fully paid for, was not granted but she insisted on wanting to visit him.
She then went on to apply for a second visa, which was approved and she travelled to the UK.
Olufunmilayo recalled that they had consensual sex twice, one of which occurred when they were both drunk and the other when sober.
However, the following day after the first sex, Olufunmilayo alleged that Bola told him he had sex with her without consent.
He then mentioned that he specifically asked her if she was insinuating he sexually abused her and she replied saying no.
According to his statement, he decided to keep Bola at arms length due to that incident and other ones that transpired.
In his lengthy rebuttal, Olufunmilayo wrote that he accommodated Bola in the UK for 4 months in his apartment despite the duo not being in talking terms. She stayed that long in the UK due to the coronavirus travel restrictions.
According to him, while not on talking terms, she constantly made attempt to seduce and blackmail him but he had his focus on a major exam he was preparing to write.
