The Ogun State Government has confirmed that a social media content creator, known as Mirabel, who alleged she was sexually assaulted, is safe and receiving comprehensive medical care at a state-owned health facility.
Authorities launched a coordinated multi-sectoral response after the allegations surfaced online, with the survivor now responding positively to treatment while receiving medical attention, psychosocial support, and undergoing investigation simultaneously.
Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye, disclosed this following a visit to the survivor alongside the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary and the Medical Director of the facility. She stated that the visit was aimed at assessing the survivor’s condition and ensuring appropriate medical and welfare interventions were being promptly administered.
Adeleye commended the Nigeria Police Force, Ogun State Command, for its swift action upon the case being transferred to the state, while also praising the rapid response of medical personnel and the State Ministry of Justice.
“This structured approach is intended to protect the survivor’s welfare while guaranteeing that investigations are conducted professionally, thoroughly, and strictly based on verifiable evidence,” Adeleye said.
She added that detailed examinations and all required clinical procedures are being carried out in line with established standards for managing sexual assault cases, even as security agencies conduct their parallel investigation.
“The welfare, dignity, and safety of every survivor remains our utmost priority. The Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration maintains a zero-tolerance stance on sexual and gender-based violence,” the Commissioner stressed.
“While we stand firmly with survivors, we are equally guided by due process. Investigations must be evidence-based, transparent, and fair to all parties involved. Whosoever is found wanting would be made to face the full wrath of the law.”
The Commissioner assured that further updates would be communicated as credible findings emerge from ongoing investigations. She urged members of the public to avoid speculative narratives or sensational commentary that could undermine due process, while reassuring them that the state government would investigate the matter to determine the veracity of the claim.
