Celebrity doctor, Olufunmilayo Ogunsanya also know as OurFavOnlineDoctor, on the Twitter, has been vindicated and exonerated by UK’s Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service of allegation(s) of inappropriate conduct falsely leveled against him by his ex female friend, Dr. Bolanle Aseyan.
This comes three years after he was falsely accused of rape and domestic violence by a bitter ex-girlfriend in the United Kingdom.
Inibehe Effiong, a lawyer and activist took to Twitter on Wednesday to announce the good news.
He revealed that Dr. Bolanle Aseyan, an alumnus of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), lied against Dr Olufunmilayo for breaking up with her by accusing him of crimes that could have got him disbarred.
Effiong wrote in part: “Dr. Olufunmilayo who had taken a temporary break from Twitter for personal reasons, had been dragged before the UK’s Metropolitan Police on false allegation of rape. He was cleared by the UK Police after investigation. The police found that the allegation were unsubstantiated.
“Not done with her vindictive quest to bring down Dr. Funmi for rightly ending their relationship, his embittered ex girlfriend, Dr. Bolanle, filed a frivolous complaint with the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2020 against him in the hope that he will lose his practice license.
“GMC referred the matter to the Medical Tribunal.
“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.”

Dr Penking, also a Twitter influencer shared a picture of the accuser and said: “This is Dr Bolanle Aseyan from Kabba in Kogi State, an alumni of LASUTH.
“She met Dr Olufunmilayo (OurFavOnlineDoctor) on Twitter on November 2019. They started talking and somehow later fell in love.
“In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, she pressured Dr Olufunmilayo to arrange for her to come over to the UK. He agreed, since he loved her.
“She started applying for VISA and was eventually granted. Dr Olufunmilayo paid for the flight. They met. She lived in his house for months. They had consensual sex several times. She paid no bills. Feeding, accommodation, light, water, wifi, heating, everything was paid by Dr Olufunmilayo.

“Somewhere along the line, the relationship went sour. She displayed character Dr Olufunmilayo could not put up with in a life partner and he decided to call off the relationship.
“The first thing Dr Bola Aseyan did was run to the UK Metropolitan police to accuse him of rape and domestic violence. Dr Olufunmilayo was arrested and the matter was alacritously investigated but found to be false.
“Embittered and feeling defeated, Dr Bola Aseyan moved straight to the UK General Medical Council
with an aim to have his license withdrawn and him deported.
“The GMC accepted the case and passed it to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
“MPTS have been sitting on it since 2020.
“Today 19th July, 2023, MPTS has finally proven Dr Olufunmilayo innocent of all accusations and fully fit to practice.
“-3 years of mental starvation -3 years forced social media break. Just because of one false accusation.
