Two women, Miss Olomoko Inumidun and Miss Ayomikun Ifeoluwa, have been exposed as partners in a same-sex relationship in the Moniya area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
The pair, who had allegedly been cohabiting and engaging in romantic affairs, had been on the police watchlist for weeks before a raid on Friday 5th September 2025 led to the arrest of Ayomikun. Olomoko, however, escaped and is still at large.
Community members in Moniya reportedly alerted the police after observing the duo’s private lifestyle in a residential apartment, where they were said to have been seen kissing, cuddling, cooking, and engaging in activities typical of couples. Same-sex relationships are criminalised in Nigeria and carry a penalty of up to 14 years imprisonment.
Confirming the incident, Inspector Bamidele, who led the operation, said the duo had been partners for a long time and were first exposed by Olomoko’s fiancé.
“Olomoko Inumidun and her companion Ayomikun have been ardent same-sex partners. They were initially caught on the day of Olomoko’s engagement. The fiancé and his family reported the matter to the police, and subsequent reports from various stations in Ogba, Lagos, and Uso, Ondo State, helped us track them. Surveillance led to Ayomikun’s arrest, and efforts are ongoing to apprehend Olomoko,” Inspector Bamidele stated.
Speaking with journalists, Mr Anderson, a politician and estranged fiancé of Olomoko, vowed to support the police in ensuring her arrest.
“Myself and my group together with the police are relentless in our efforts to catch, arrest and persecute Olomoko Inumidun wherever she is hiding in the country. We have traced her footsteps to several hideouts, including a hotel where it was revealed that she had recently stayed for only three days out of her one week booking” Anderson fumes. “Nevertheless she can never escape the wrath of law”
The police have appealed to members of the public for useful information that could lead to Olomoko’s arrest, while also warning Nigerians to desist from same-sex relationships and other activities deemed illegal under the law.
