Ogun State Confirms Mirabel Safe, Receiving Medical Care As Investigation Continues
The Ogun State government has confirmed that social media content creator Mirabel, who recently alleged sexual assault, is safe and receiving comprehensive care at a state-run medical facility. State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye, made the announcement following a visit to Mirabel, accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and the hospital’s Medical Director. Adeleye said the visit was aimed at assessing the survivor’s condition firsthand and ensuring she is receiving appropriate medical and welfare support. She confirmed that Mirabel has been admitted and is undergoing thorough medical treatment, psychosocial care, and all necessary clinical procedures in line with protocols for handling alleged sexual assault cases. She added that the victim is responding positively to treatment. The Commissioner also commended the Ogun State Police Command for their swift and professional response after the case was transferred to the state. She praised the medical team and the Ogun State Ministry of Justice for their coordinated efforts. “This structured approach is designed to protect the survivor’s welfare while ensuring that investigations are conducted professionally, thoroughly, and strictly based on verifiable evidence,” Adeleye said. She noted that while clinical examinations continue, security agencies have commenced investigations into the matter. Reiterating the government’s position, Adeleye emphasized that Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration maintains a zero-tolerance policy on sexual and gender-based violence. “The welfare, dignity, and safety of every survivor are our top priorities. While we support survivors, we are equally committed to due process. Investigations must be evidence-based, transparent, and fair to all parties involved. Anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law,” she said. Adeleye assured the public that updates would be provided as credible findings emerge from the ongoing investigations and urged citizens to avoid speculation or sensational commentary that could undermine due process. She reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to determining the truth behind the allegation.
