Following her inability to defend claims of being rap*ed, Ogun State Police has arrested and detained social media personality Mirabel.
Police stated that investigations revealed that her viral claims of rap*e were false.
The arrest followed the transfer of the case by the Lagos State Domestic and Se*xual Violence Agency (DSVA) to Ogun under which the incident took place.
Mirabel had shared on TikTok that she was rap*ed and slashed with a blade by an unknown attacker, attracting widespread attention and support.
In a statement, DSVA said it had successfully contacted a close friend of the survivor, who confirmed that she had been discharged from the hospital.
“We understand that the Ogun State Police Command is currently handling the matter, and we trust that the survivor will fully cooperate with the appropriate authorities to enable a thorough investigation and due process,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, neighbours in Mirabel’s compound have disputed her claims. One neighbour said, “The ra*e did not happen. I did not hear any shout when the alleged incident happened.
“What is paining me is that she lied that her mom passed a few days ago, and the whole compound contributed money for her. I went through her page and saw that she posted about her mom’s passing last December.”
Another neighbour added, “I’ve seen her with a man before. He comes around often, and they take ‘somethings’. I don’t believe her story.
“We saw Mirabel when she was leaving the compound; she was walking perfectly and wore baggy jeans. A guy came to pick her up.”
Police investigations have also found inconsistencies in her story.
Additionally, Mirabel reportedly gave conflicting statements and declined full medical and forensic examinations offered by both the police and NGOs.
She has been detained for providing false information, wasting police resources, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Following her arrest, her TikTok account was made private, several videos were deleted, and some donors are reportedly seeking refunds.
The Ogun State Police stressed that false reports of se*ual assault can undermine real survivors and warned that such actions will be treated seriously. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
