The ministry has assumed responsibility for her care and has assured the police that she will be made available whenever required as investigations continue.

“The Command assures the public that the matter is being handled with professionalism, sensitivity, and diligence. Members of the public are urged to refrain from speculation and allow the investigation to run its full course. Further updates will be provided as necessary,” the statement added.
Mirabel had earlier taken to TikTok to allege that she was attacked and raped by a stranger who allegedly forced his way into her apartment in the Ogijo area of Ogun State.
Her claims gained attention on social media, with many Nigerians expressing concern and calling for justice.
The case later took another turn after an audio recording surfaced online in which she allegedly admitted to fabricating parts of her account.
Following the development, the Ogun State Police Command reiterated in a public advisory that providing false information to law enforcement authorities is a criminal offence under Nigerian law.
The advisory referenced relevant provisions of the Criminal Code Act and the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015.
However, in the latest update, the police did not make any pronouncement on guilt or innocence, stating instead that investigations are ongoing.
The statement was signed by DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, Eleweran, Abeokuta, and dated February 25, 2026.
