Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second

The Nigerian police have arrested an online influencer, Suraj Oyewale, widely recognised as SirJarus over domestic violence.

The Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has confirmed this in a statement issued by its Head Public Affairs Unit, Adejoke Ladenegan-Oginni.

The agency on June 28, reported that an allegation of abuse involving #SirJarus, was referred to the police for investigation.

The DSVA noted that #SirJarus addressed the issue through a series of tweets, providing clarification on the incident involving him and his wife, Mrs Oyewale Ayoola.

In the now-deleted tweets, Oyewale alleged that his wife engaged in fetish practices and provocative behaviour, which he claimed led to a physical altercation.

These statements have ignited outrage on social media, particularly on X.com, where users have expressed a wide range of opinions on the matter.

He further indicated in his responses to critics that his 14-year marriage might be nearing its end.

This situation appears to be related to his recent decision to take a second wife.

However, in an updated shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, on Wednesday, the agency stated “@SirJarus is currently in police custody, and investigations are ongoing.

“We commend the @LagosPoliceNG for their swift and diligent response in handling this matter.”
