Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) said on Thursday that social media influencer Suraj Oyewale aka Sir Jarus has been charged to court.
The agency said on its social media page that Sir Jarus was charged before Court 5, Ogba Magistrate Court with two counts of “assault against his wife” and “conduct likely to cause breach of peace.”
The influencer has been a subject of discourse on X following controversial posts he made about his wife.
In the post, he accused his wife Oyewale Ayoola of engaging in “fetish practices” and “provocative behaviour”.
According to him, her practices led to a “physical altercation” between them.
He has since deleted the posts.
On June 28, the DSVA said it had referred the case to the police for investigation.
Giving an update on Wednesday, the agency said Sir Jarus was in police custody.
QEDNG learnt that Sir Jarus filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve his 13-year marriage to Ayoola.
In the suit, the influencer was said to have sought to secure full custody of their three children.
The suit cites “abandoning Islam” and consulting with “soothsayers and herbalists” as reasons for divorce.
