The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that a TikTok content creator identified as Mirabel is currently receiving treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU) as investigations continue into her allegations of sexual assault.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this on Thursday during an appearance on The Morning Brief.
According to the police, contact was established with the content creator earlier in the week after videos she posted detailing the allegations went viral online.
Babaseyi explained that officers initially traced her to the Ibafo area before confirming that the reported incident allegedly occurred in Ogijo, a border community between Ogun and Lagos states.
“When the Divisional Police Officer in Ibafo met with her, she was taken to the hospital for medical evaluation. She was not in a stable condition at the time, but investigations are ongoing,” he said.
He added that Mirabel is currently in intensive care and that her medical condition remains the priority.
“As we speak, she is in the ICU receiving appropriate care. Her health is paramount. Once she stabilises, investigators will obtain further details necessary for the case,” he stated.
The case has sparked widespread debate on social media, with some users questioning the authenticity of her claims. However, the police urged the public to refrain from drawing conclusions while investigations are ongoing.
“We advise against emotional reactions or premature judgments. Our findings will be based strictly on evidence,” Babaseyi said, encouraging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
He also clarified that Mirabel was not arrested, dismissing online claims suggesting otherwise.
“She reported a case to the police. She was not arrested. We are treating her as a complainant while we investigate,” he said.
The police noted that certain individuals have been invited for questioning but declined to provide further details to avoid compromising the investigation.
Mirabel’s allegations gained public attention after videos she posted on Sunday went viral, in which she claimed an intruder forced entry into her residence, assaulted her and inflicted injuries.
Following the online outcry, including advocacy under the #StopRapingWomen campaign, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency initially engaged the matter before jurisdiction shifted to Ogun State, where the alleged incident reportedly occurred.
Police say further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
