The Ogun State Police Command has announced that Mirabel, the TikTok user whose sexual assault allegations triggered significant social media outrage, has been released from the hospital but remains with the police for further investigation.
Oluseyi Babaseyi, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed this in an interview with News Central Television on Friday, outlining the events that occurred after her arrival at the police station.
According to Babaseyi, Mirabel was initially unable to provide a coherent account when she was debriefed by officers, prompting immediate medical intervention.
“And the DPO was trying to debrief her to get facts of the case, but we found out that she wasn’t that coherent at that point in time, so he had to promptly take her to the hospital, a state hospital, for attention,” she said.
She added that the police acted based on the seriousness of the allegations contained in Mirabel’s viral TikTok posts.

“As you know, already, she is somebody, a victim of sexual assault as we presumed, as it was allegedly stated from her post on TikTok and the posts that were going viral on X. We acted in good faith. The DPO did everything professionally within his power to make her get medical attention, prompt medical attention. She was admitted into the ICU,” Babaseyi stated.
The spokesperson stressed that Mirabel was not arrested at any point, noting that her welfare remained the priority of the command.
“As a presumed victim of sexual assault, what should we do? She had her freedom to communicate with who she wanted to communicate with,” she said.
Providing an update on her condition, Babaseyi disclosed that Mirabel had since been discharged but was still assisting with the investigation.
“She has been happily discharged from the hospital and as we speak now, she’s with us for us to further the investigation and to get to the logical conclusions of whether those allegations were true or not,” she added.
