Tacha Calls For Mirabel To Face Legal Action After False Rape Allegation
Reality star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has demanded that social media personality Mirabel face strict legal consequences after admitting that her viral rape allegation was false. Mirabel had previously claimed she was raped at her Ogun State residence, a statement that ignited widespread outrage and calls for justice online. She later confessed in a social media recording that her initial claim was fabricated, saying she was not in a clear state of mind when she made the accusation. Responding to the revelation, Tacha called on law enforcement and relevant agencies to hold Mirabel accountable, insisting she should face the same penalties as a convicted rapist. She wrote: “Now that it’s been established that Mirabel lied about the rape allegation, I expect the police and the agencies in charge of handling rape and assault cases to make sure they penalize Mirabel and that she receives the same punishment a rapist would get… CAUSE we live in a very wicked and terrible society where rapists and rape apologists are looking for excuses to continue to rape and abuse women… We should NEVER allow stupid women to empower these evil and wicked men! She must be penalized.” The Ogun State Police Command has reportedly finalised plans to arrest and prosecute Mirabel once she is discharged from the hospital, with officials emphasising that the case will serve as a deterrent to others. The situation has sparked intense debate on social media, with some supporting calls for accountability for false allegations, while others stress the need for mental health support and due process.

Please, let’s do better.” Yhemolee’s message stresses the need for responsibility and fairness, urging society to safeguard both victims of abuse and individuals wrongly accused.

Nigerian folk singer Beautiful Nubia has accused gospel musicians Yinka Ayefele and fast-rising artist BBO of using the melody of his 1997 classic, Seven Lifes, without permission or credit. Sharing his concerns on Thursday via his X account, the singer, whose real name is Segun Akinlolu, expressed frustration over what he described as repeated copyright infringement by fellow Nigerian musicians. Beautiful Nubia cited Yinka Ayefele’s 2012 song My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti) and BBO’s 2026 track Amin as examples, claiming both drew heavily from the melody of Seven Lifes. “There was Yinka Ayefele with ‘My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)’ in 2012 and now someone called BBO with ‘Amin’ this year. Both stole their melodies from our original song ‘Seven Lifes,’” he wrote. He also criticized gospel musicians in particular for neglecting intellectual property rights, asking, “When will Nigerians (especially the so-called gospel musicians) learn to respect copyright?” Neither Yinka Ayefele nor BBO has responded publicly to the claims as of this report.
