Professor Abayomi said the commission is aware of the video and has directed HEFAMAA to get credible information on the allegations by deploying its team to monitor the facility.

“We are aware of a viral video alleged to have originated from the founder of Optimal Care Cancer Centre and I have directed HEFAMAA to investigate it and report back”, he explained.

The Commissioner assured the public that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will not tolerate any form of sexual abuse in the state.
