A Lagos-based content creator and thrift seller, popularly known as Fems Thrift, has alleged that she and a friend were sexually assaulted after being lured to what they believed was a modelling job in the Ajao Estate area of Lagos State.
The allegation was made in a video shared on her TikTok page, where she said the incident occurred on Friday, February 8.
According to her account, she was contacted on Instagram by a man who claimed he had recently returned from the United Kingdom to launch an international fashion brand in Nigeria. She said he offered her N140,000 for a modelling assignment and requested that she promote the brand on her social media platforms.
The initial contact was reportedly made on February 1. She said she agreed to the job after being assured that a full production team, including a make-up artist, would be present at the shoot. For safety reasons, she was accompanied to the location by a friend.
Upon arrival at the apartment around 11 a.m., she alleged that the space appeared largely empty. The man reportedly told them it was a content creation studio and claimed that the make-up artist had stepped out briefly.
She further alleged that the suspect asked her to take a shower in preparation for filming and provided a robe for her to change into. After she complied, he allegedly entered the room under the pretext of showing her how to lock the door before other crew members arrived.
According to her, the situation escalated when the man locked the door and threatened both women, forcing them to comply with his demands. She also claimed that their mobile phones were seized and that they were compelled to unlock private folders, with personal files allegedly transferred to the suspect.
The content creator further alleged that the man threatened to release the materials online if they reported the incident or spoke publicly about it.
“He threatened me with my internet presence, saying if I spoke up, he would release my private videos now and in the future,” she said.
The women reportedly left the apartment between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. that day.
The video has since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users calling for the suspect’s arrest and urging law enforcement agencies to investigate the claims. Images said to be of the alleged perpetrator have also circulated online.
When contacted on Wednesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, said no formal complaint had been filed as of February 11, 2026. She added that efforts were ongoing to reach the complainant to enable the commencement of an investigation.
