Teen Denies Being Sexually Assaulted by PDP Chieftain in Kwara!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

A teenager, Aishat Kamardeen, has publicly denied allegations circulating online that she was sexually assaulted by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Comrade Musbau Esinrogunjo, in Kwara State.

What We Know:

• The rumours emerged on social media earlier this week, alleging misconduct involving Esinrogunjo, a former chairmanship candidate in the 2024 local government elections.
• In a video statement released on Saturday, October 18, 2025, Aishat clarified that no such incident occurred and asked the public to disregard the claims.
• She stated that her image and name were being used without her consent to push a false narrative.

Quote:

“Nothing of that sort ever happened. I have not been harassed by Comrade Esinrogunjo. Please stop spreading lies with my name,” — Aishat Kamardeen.

Why It Matters:

• The denial comes amid increasing scrutiny of public figures in Nigeria and the impact of misinformation online.
• False sexual assault claims can damage reputations and distract from genuine cases requiring justice.
• The incident highlights the need for responsible media reporting and social media accountability.
