The Ogun State Police Command has released TikToker Abigeal Nsikak, popularly known as Mirabel, to the State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development after she presented herself at a police station in connection with her widely publicised rape allegation.
According to a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, yesterday, Mirabel visited the station and underwent a comprehensive medical examination.
Babaseyi stated that she has been cooperating with investigators and has been released to the Ministry for her welfare and support needs, reports The Nation.
“In consideration of her welfare and support needs, she has been released to the Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development.
“The Ministry has undertaken responsibility for her care and has assured the Command that she will be made available whenever required as investigations continue,” the statement read.
The police emphasised that the case is being handled with professionalism, sensitivity, and thoroughness, and appealed to the public to avoid speculation and allow the investigation to proceed.
“The Command assures the public that the matter is being handled with professionalism, sensitivity, and diligence. Members of the public are urged to refrain from speculation and allow the investigation to run its full course. Further updates will be provided as necessary”, he added.
Mirabel’s case drew national attention in mid-February after she posted emotional videos on TikTok describing a purported home invasion and sexual assault at her Ogijo residence.
However, the claim faced online scrutiny over alleged inconsistencies, and she later clarified that she might not have been raped.
The investigation continues without prejudice to the final outcome, with the Ogun State Police reiterating its commitment to treating all reports of sexual violence seriously while upholding fairness and the rule of law.
