The accusations, detailed in a petition filed by Ajayi’s legal representative Femi Falana, SAN, allege that Lamuwa made inappropriate advances towards Ajayi during a retreat on October 7, 2023, related to President Bola Tinubu’s 4D policy review.
Lamuwa reportedly suggested Ajayi visit his room after she opted not to stay at the hotel, a proposition she declined due to her responsibilities as a nursing mother.
Minister Tuggar has notified the Head of Service of the Federation about the allegations, emphasizing the need for a formal inquiry.
