A Nigerian caregiver, Oghenemaro Dave Ejerua, has been arrested and charged with seven counts of assault in connection with alleged attacks on residents of a group home for vulnerable adults in East Toronto.
Toronto Police confirmed that the 38-year-old suspect was taken into custody last week after investigations into a series of reported assaults at the care facility.
The police said the alleged incidents occurred over a one-month period between November 1 and November 30, 2025, during which residents of the group home were reportedly assaulted on several occasions.
Officers were said to have responded to a complaint in the Sibley and Dentonia Park avenues area on the morning of December 10, 2025, following reports of assaults involving occupants of the home.
After the initial response, the police commenced an investigation and made a public appeal for information to help identify and locate the suspect linked to the case.
In an update released on Monday, January 12, Toronto Police announced that Ejerua had been arrested and charged with seven counts of assault.
The police added that the accused is expected to appear in court on a date to be determined, stressing that the charges remain allegations and have not yet been proven in court.
