Nigerian Police Say TikToker Mirabel Will Face Prosecution If Rape Claim Is Proven False

The Ogun State Police Command has stated that the alleged perpetrator in the sexual assault case involving Nigerian TikToker, Mirabel (@mirab351), will be arrested and prosecuted if investigations confirm her claims, but warned that she could face legal consequences if the allegation is found to be false.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, made this known during a recent interview with Channels Television while addressing public concerns surrounding the ongoing investigation.

According to him, the police remain neutral and committed to establishing the truth through due process.

“In general, if she’s telling the truth, the perpetrator will be arrested and charged to court appropriately,” Babaseyi said.

“If it is otherwise, as you know, the law goes against giving false information, and that can make anyone who gives false information culpable.”

The police spokesperson also dismissed widespread claims circulating on social media alleging that the TikToker had been arrested by the police, describing such reports as false.

“What we are trying to dispel is that there’s an allegation online that the police arrested her. She was not arrested by the police. She had a case and reported at the police station and we are investigating it, not as people claim that she was arrested as seen on social media,” he added.

The clarification comes amid heightened public attention following reports that the Ogun State Police Command had launched an investigation into the alleged sexual assault after a viral video and emotional posts by the victim sparked nationwide outrage and renewed concerns over justice for survivors of sexual violence in Nigeria.

Earlier, police authorities disclosed that the Commissioner of Police directed the Divisional Police Officer of the Ibafo Division to immediately establish contact with the victim after the case surfaced online.

The victim subsequently reported at the Ibafo Police Station, where officers obtained preliminary details before discovering that the alleged incident occurred within the Ogijo jurisdiction.

She was thereafter escorted to a medical facility for examination and urgent treatment before being transferred to the Ogijo Police Station for proper documentation and continuation of investigative procedures.

Police authorities said the survivor was later referred for extended medical care due to her fragile medical and emotional condition, assuring the public that efforts were ongoing to ensure her safety while investigations continue.

The case, which reportedly occurred on February 15, gained national attention after the victim alleged in a viral video that an unidentified man forced his way into her apartment, restrained her, and threatened that his family’s influence could obstruct justice.

The incident has since triggered widespread calls for transparency and accountability, with Nigerians urging authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation.

I believe that the reason many crimes still persist in Nigeria is that they only attract light punishments.

If the punishment for raping women and a woman wrongly accusing people of raping them is the death sentence, the either party will think twice before committing such crimes.

Very good. The punishment for false rape accusation should equal the punishment for actual rape case.

Very good, let him be punished for the crime if found guilty

So death sentence, then what if it's a false rape accusation,and the truth is known after the man has been executed

If this allegation is proven false, that girl don enter long thing.
Moreso, it damages trust in rape allegations and can potentially lead to would -be rapists escaping justice

Hmm!!!! Make Mirabel nor carry social media trending stunt trend enter prison, if her allegation matter is false but if otherwise the culprit will rot in jail Allah.

Naijiria ma kwantiri

Some activists live VDM are already pushing a narrative that Mirabel has mental health problems. That kind of labeling is insensitive and unfair, especially without verified medical evidence. Mental health should never be used as a convenient excuse or as a weapon in public discourse.

We also need to consider what could have happened if this situation had not been properly investigated. If she had not been caught lying (assuming investigations confirm that), innocent male neighbors could have been arrested based solely on her words.
It would have been her accusation against theirs, and reputations could have been permanently damaged.

Beyond the individuals involved, cases like this have wider consequences. When a false allegation gains national attention, it can make society more skeptical of future rape claims. Genuine victims may become afraid to speak up for fear of not being believed. Worse still, actual offenders could attempt to use such cases as part of their defense in the future.

If it is proven that the allegation was deliberately fabricated, then Mirabel should be allowed to face the full weight of the law. Accountability is necessary as a deterrent to anyone, whether male or female who may be tempted to weaponize rape accusations for personal reasons.

At the same time, we must be careful not to let one case undermine the reality of genuine victims who deserve justice and support.

Allegations should always be taken seriously. Investigations should be thorough. Conclusions should be based on evidence. And justice must apply equally to everyone.

She has apologized. Kudos to the guy's neighbors who stood by him to tell the truth. He for they explain now

That thought did cross my mind.

It will likely be a slap on the wrist since nobody’s reputation was injured.

Shout out to the X community; saw through this b.s with text, picture and video evidence from the onset.

She definitely should!






All these unintelligent fools calling themselves Genz






She must face the full wrath of the law!

Read to understand. The poster is merely saying that false rape accusations should carry the same sentence when proven if a person is convicted of same.

Very useless girl. All this just to trend and now she is about to go to jail all because she want to trend

Lol…she go finally get attention wey she dey seek

They should prosecute her dry ugly asssszz and send her to prison, false ràpe accusations is as evîl as the actual ràpe, she and others are denying the actual victims the justice they deserve.

How can you trivialize something as serious as rape just for attention and online impression

Mirabel i hope you are not lying o! We are watching in 3D sha

No apology is enough for false claim of rape.

She must do jail time

Ó ṣi eré ṣe (her social media stunt has turned to nightmare for her). A deterrent for others. If you think you can use false claim of grape to get at people because there is no love lost between you guys, sorry, you’re a joker.

Dem say na GenZ go end this world, I don dey believe the thing small small.




If nothing like that happen this girl must chop the food wey she cook......She go even chop extra join for police hand.

Who wan even roipe this one wey ugly so ?

She's even a lezbian seff.

Thank God she no accused any innocent man

I hate girls like mirabel.its her type that makes it difficult for real rape victims to get justice, to be believed and to listened to, its people like her that make men skeptical and have reservations helping women.before men were quick to help and protect women whether they asked or not but horrible girls like mirabel will make genuine tears of women look like acting

Murder attracts death sentence yet thete is bloodbath in Nigeria evert other day.

From VDM's video, it's clear the young girl of 18 is depressed, suicidal and into drugs. She's a victim of unfortunate circumstance and should be rehabilitated.

At least she didn't accuse any real person. She clearly hallucinated the events due to her taking codeine and sprite to sleep because of her insomnia.

She needs mental help biko.

Aaaargh... Thank God say she no accuse any real person oooh!!!

All this false rape alarm, go come make people no take the real rape alarm serious.

I remember vividly when a woman falsely accused her husband of raping the daughters in enugu.

And up till now, the society hasn't done anything to that woman
