The Ogun State Police Command has launched a manhunt for a man identified as Kola following an allegation of sexual assault involving a 17-year-old boy.
The allegation was formally reported at the Adigbe Police Division on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at about 5pm.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday.
Babaseyi said the teenager, who was accompanied by his parents, alleged that Kola sexually assaulted him on three occasions in January 2026 and threatened him to keep the matter secret.
“Following the report, he was taken to a hospital within the Adigbe axis for medical examination, while detectives commenced investigation,” Babaseyi said.
The police command noted that the matter only came to its attention after the formal complaint was made on September 8.
The suspect is currently at large, prompting the Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, to direct detectives to intensify efforts to locate and arrest him.
The command assured the public that the allegation was receiving urgent, professional and sensitive attention as investigations continue.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting children and other vulnerable persons and ensuring that allegations of abuse are thoroughly investigated.
