The Ogun State Government has pledged a thorough investigation into the rape allegation raised by popular TikTok personality Mirabel, assuring the public that justice will be pursued while the young woman continues to receive medical care and psychosocial support.

In an official response issued by state authorities, the government acknowledged the seriousness of the claims circulating on social media platform TikTok and emphasized its commitment to protecting survivors of sexual violence. Officials confirmed that relevant agencies have been directed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Government Promises Due Process
According to the statement, the state has activated its established sexual assault response mechanisms, noting that no individual found culpable will be shielded from prosecution. Authorities stressed that the investigation will follow due process and be guided strictly by verified evidence.

The government also urged members of the public to avoid spreading unverified information online, warning that misinformation could compromise ongoing inquiries and retraumatize victims.

Medical Care and Support Ongoing
Officials confirmed that Mirabel is currently receiving appropriate medical attention, alongside counselling services designed to support survivors of gender-based violence. The state reiterated its broader commitment to strengthening institutional responses to sexual assault, including collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force and relevant social welfare bodies.

Growing Public Attention
The allegation gained widespread attention after Mirabel shared her account online, sparking conversations about sexual violence, victim protection, and the role of authorities in ensuring accountability. Civil society groups have called for transparency in the investigation and sustained support for the complainant.

Broader Context
Ogun State, like many jurisdictions across Nigeria, has in recent years intensified efforts to address gender-based violence through legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, and survivor support frameworks. Analysts note that the handling of high-profile cases such as this often shapes public confidence in institutional responses.
