The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 28-year old cleaner with the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan Remo, Victor Cletus, who allegedly posed as a doctor to defraud and s3xually abuse a young woman.

 

 

 

The spokesperson for the state police command, CSP Omolola Odutola, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, November 21, 2025 said that Cletus was arrested following a report lodged by the victim, who narrated how the suspect contacted her on Snapchat and falsely presented himself as a surgeon at Babcock University Teaching Hospital.

 

 

 

“Believing his fabricated credentials, she confided in him a medical concern involving a lump in her right breast,” the PPRO said.

 

 

 

Odutola disclosed that the suspect demanded an unspecified amount of money as a supposed operation fee and deceitfully instructed her to meet him for a surgical procedure.

 

 

 

“Taking advantage of her vulnerability, the suspect fraudulently demanded an unspecified amount of money as a supposed operation fee, and deceitfully instructed her to meet him for a surgical procedure on 18/11/2025.

 

 

 

“Instead of offering any medical help, he s3xually abused her and also stole money from her Opay account.

 

“The victim’s suspicion grew the following day when the fake doctor persisted in demanding s3xual intimacy without conducting any medical procedure.

 

 

 

“She independently contacted Babcock University Teaching Hospital and was shocked to learn that Victor Cletus is not a doctor but a cleaner in the hospital. The suspect is being investigated and will be prosecuted accordingly.”

 

 

 

The command has therefore warned the public—especially young females, to exercise heightened caution on social media platforms, where criminals disguise themselves with false identities to lure, manipulate and extort innocent persons.

 

 

 

The state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, condemned this heinous act and warned online predators and criminal impostors that the command will not tolerate any form of exploitation, deception, or s3xual violence against females.

 

 

 

Ogunlowo urged young females to remain circumspect and be weary of trusting strangers with personal or medical information online

 

 

 

The command reiterated his steadfastness and commitment to identifying, arresting, and prosecuting individuals who weaponise social media platforms to perpetrate crimes.
