Sayria Lagos, the spa owned by Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star Abiri Khloe Oluwabusayomi, has addressed the sexual assault allegations by a client.
The client identified as Angelica Kelechi on Sunday claimed she was being “coerced and assaulted severally” by a masseur while describing the experience as “traumatic”.
“I was sexually assaulted at Sayria Lagos on Wednesday. What I thought was supposed to be a surprise for my sister’s birthday became a nightmare for me and now a trauma,” she said.
“I had a masseur. He coerced and started fingering me while massaging me. This man put his hand in my private part multiple times.”

In the caption, she alleged that when she reported to the police, she was blamed for not reacting during the assault and for visiting a spa as a “young girl”.
Angelica also accused the spa of trying to shield the masseur when she reported to the management.
“… the police station started blaming me the victim saying in Yoruba “what is a young girl doing at the spa” him and another lady laughed,” the caption reads.
“When this situation was brought to the spa they tried to hide the boy and give us the run around.
“My kindness has been taken for weakness and I will not be okay with that anymore.”
Reacting via a statement, Sayria Spa expressed surprise at the allegations, arguing that Angelica had confirmed that she was comfortable with a male therapist and that the session was monitored, with four people present, including her sister.
The spa alleged that she and her sister tipped staff N25,000 and stayed afterward without raising concerns.
“We are aware of the recent posts made by a client regarding an alleged incident at our spa on May 21st, 2025. While we are surprised by the turn of events, it is important that we address the matter with full transparency, professionalism, and respect for all parties involved,” the statement reads.
“The client booked a surprise spa experience for her sister, which included two massage treatments. At her request, the appointment was rescheduled on the same day.
“Upon arrival, both guests were warmly welcomed, celebrated the occasion with refreshments, and proceeded to their treatments.
“As per our standard protocol, both clients were given privacy to change. The client in question was asked and confirmed that she was comfortable receiving a massage from a male therapist.
“During the session, there were a total of four people in the room the client and her sister were side by side, each receiving their treatment simultaneously.
“The massage was conducted professionally, with the therapist checking in regularly to ensure the client’s comfort throughout the session.
“Following their treatments, both clients expressed satisfaction, tipped our team a total of N25,000, and remained at the spa for an extended period before leaving
“To our surprise, the client did not report any discomfort or issue to our management.”
Sayria said later that day, Angelica returned with police officers and the therapist was taken in for questioning.
The statement also claimed she withdrew the complaint the following day. Sayria added that they suspended the staff and reopened investigations after public outcry.
“Instead, later that evening, she returned with individuals accompanied by police officers, and our male therapist was taken in for questioning based on an allegation of misconduct,” it wrote.
“Our staff member had to be called back to the spa, and we fully cooperated with the authorities from the outset.
“The next day, the client voluntarily withdrew her complaint and submitted a formal letter to that effect.
“Despite this, our management launched an internal investigation immediately.
“The staff member involved was placed on suspension pending the outcome, and we have formally requested an independent investigation by law enforcement to ensure full transparency and accountability.
“Following further developments, our founder has instructed that the case be reopened for deeper investigation.
“The staff member is currently in police custody, and our Managing Director is personally overseeing the matter to ensure that the truth is uncovered and justice is served.
“We want to reiterate that Sayria Spa has zero tolerance for any form of misconduct or abuse. We remain fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, client care, and safety.
“We have reached out to the client to express our concern and reassure her that we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness it deserves.
“We sincerely appreciate the understanding and continued support of our clients and community as we work to uphold a safe, respectful, and trustworthy environment for everyone.”

Angelica, however, denied tipping Sayria’s staff. She claimed the male therapist admitted to the misconduct and apologised at the police station.
“I didn’t tip anyone, my sister is the one that tipped her girl,” she said.
“The boy admitted what he did at the police station and apologized, the agreement was I wanted him to admit to what he did and sayria donate to an organization that I choose.
“This agreement was made on Thursday before my flight. Her team kept giving me the run around and ended up donating to what they wanted to and blocked the amount they donated.
“That wasn’t the agreement at all. I also have a voice recording of the agreement that was made.”
