She returned after leaving a rehabilitation programme in Ogun. She was released into the care of the state’s ministry of women affairs and social development in February.
Mirabel returned to social media on Saturday, 22nd of August, with a video of herself.
“I survived, so I’m awaiting your hate comments,” she captioned the video.
Mirabel first gained public attention after posting a series of distressing videos on TikTok, in which she claimed she was sexually assaulted in her residence on February 15.
The videos sparked widespread concern online and prompted a response from the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA).
The Lagos DSVA initially stated it was attempting to reach the young woman.
In a follow-up statement, the agency clarified that since the incident allegedly occurred in Ogun, it fell outside its legal jurisdiction.
However, the situation became muddled when several social media users cited inconsistencies in her story.
On June 24, the Ogun state ministry of justice said investigations established that the rape allegation made by Mirabel was false.
The ministry added that findings by relevant authorities, along with Mirabel’s admissions, showed the allegation was deliberately fabricated.
The government then decided against prosecuting Mirabel and instead opted for psychosocial rehabilitation.
