A Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Lamuwa, has denied allegations of sexual harassment made by a married female staff member, Simisola Fajemirokun Ajayi.

The allegations were presented by Ajayi through a petition to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, filed by her lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).

The petition outlined alleged instances of sexual harassment and other misconduct by the permanent secretary.

In a document obtained by Daily Trust, the embattled permanent secretary, through his lawyers, refuted the allegations.

“We are legal representatives of Ambassador Ibrahim Lamuwa (hereinafter referred to as ‘our client’), the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and have been authorized to make the following statement on his behalf, in response to allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by Mrs. Simisola O. Fajemirokun-Ajayi, an aide to the Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs,” the document read.

“The media, particularly social media, has been inundated with the digital copy of a petition written by legal representatives of Mrs. Simisola O. Fajemirokun-Ajayi against Amb. Lamuwa. This petition was clearly leaked in order to generate sympathy for her unsubstantiated claims.”
