TikToker leaves hospital as police continue probe

The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that Mirabel, the TikTok user whose sexual assault allegation triggered widespread reactions online, has been discharged from hospital and is currently assisting investigators.

The command’s spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this during an interview with News Central Television on Friday, outlining events after the content creator presented herself at the police station.

According to Babaseyi, officers initially found Mirabel unable to give a clear account of the incident_attach, prompting the Divisional Police Officer to prioritise her medical care and take her to a state hospital, where she was admitted for treatment.

Police said their response was guided by the seriousness of the claims made in Mirabel’s viral social media posts, noting that she was treated as a presumed victim and given access to communication and medical support.

The spokesperson emphasised that Mirabel was never arrested, stressing that her welfare remained the command’s primary concern throughout the process.

Babaseyi said Mirabel has since been discharged from the hospital and is now working with investigators to determine the facts surrounding the allegation and reach a conclusive outcome.

The controversy began after the TikTok user posted a distressing video alleging she was attacked and sexually assaulted in her apartment by an unidentified individual, who she said later sent threatening messages. She also claimed the trauma led to a suicide attempt.

The video sparked outrage online, with many demanding swift action from authorities.

Initial reactions suggested the incident occurred in Lagos, but preliminary findings later indicated it took place in Ogijo, Ogun State, shifting jurisdiction to the Ogun police.

Rumours subsequently circulated that Mirabel had been arrested for allegedly fabricating the claim, but the police dismissed the reports, reiterating that she voluntarily reported the matter and was taken for medical evaluation due to her condition.

Authorities said the investigation is ongoing and urged the public to rely on verified information while avoiding the spread of unconfirmed claims.
