The Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has reported that an allegation of abuse involving an online influencer, Suraj Oyewale, popularly known as #SirJarus, has been referred to the Lagos State Police Command for investigation.

 

 

Jarus is the founder of JarusHub, a Nigerian startup focusing on career, mentorship, and management. 

 

 

Oyewale tweeted from his handle X, alleging that his wife engaged in fetish practices and provocative behavior, which he claimed led to a physical altercation.

 

He, however, is seeking full custody of their three children.

 

In a statement released on X by Adejoke Ladenegan-Oginni, Head of the Public Affairs Unit at Lagos DSVA, the state government stated that the agency had taken note of a tweet made by @SirJarus regarding the incident involving him and his wife, Mrs. Oyewale Ayoola.

 

The statement read, “As the Statutory Agency in Lagos State dedicated to preventing and responding to domestic and sexual violence, we take this very seriously. 

 

“Domestic violence in any form is unacceptable, and the Lagos State government maintains a zero-tolerance stance against it.

 

“We have, as an agency referred this to the Commissioner of Police (Gender Desk Department) to ensure that investigation commences. 

 

“We appreciate everyone who tagged us and brought this to our attention," she said.
