Mirabel: Ogun confirms safety, vows justice over rape claim.

The Ogun State Government has confirmed that a social media content creator, Mirabel, who recently alleged sexual assault, is safe and currently receiving comprehensive medical care at a state-owned health facility.

The State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Motunrayo Adijat Adeleye, disclosed this after visiting the survivor at the hospital alongside the Permanent Secretary of the ministry and the Medical Director of the facility. She explained that the visit was aimed at assessing the victim’s condition and ensuring that appropriate medical and welfare interventions were being administered without delay.

According to the commissioner, the survivor has been admitted and is undergoing thorough medical evaluation, psychosocial support and necessary clinical procedures in line with established protocols for handling cases of alleged sexual assault. She added that the patient is responding positively to treatment.

Adeleye commended the Nigeria Police Force, particularly the Ogun State Police Command, for their swift and professional response following the transfer of the case to the state. She also praised the prompt intervention of the medical team and the Ogun State Ministry of Justice for ensuring a coordinated approach.
