Nigerians woke up on Monday to the video of a young TikToker, Abigail Nsuka, aka Mirabel, claiming that she had been raped in her apartment in the early hours of Sunday, February 15.
Within hours, the video had gone viral across social media platforms as thousands, including popular artiste, Simi, demanded justice for her.
Findings showed that Mirabel did not only win sympathisers, she also made a lot of money after sharing her account details until the bubble burst.
She is now in the custody of the Ogun State Police Command.
In an emotional post, Mirabel, amid sobs, had claimed she was raped by an invader around 9am.
She said, “I have insomnia. If I’m not drunk or high, I can’t sleep. So, on Saturday, I drank, and it wasn’t working. But I needed to be high enough so I could sleep.
My eyes were tired, but I couldn’t sleep. I slept around 6am, and around 9am, I heard someone knocking on my door. I thought it was one of my neighbours because it was Sunday morning. Most of them would have gone to church, or maybe one of them wanted to ask for something. I stood up. I had a headache.
“I was still drunk and had a headache. Immediately I opened the door, I was pushed back. Before I got to my door, there was my fridge, and a few steps forward was the door. I hit my head on the fridge when I was pushed back, and I passed out. When I opened my eyes, there was a man over me.
“There was a cloth tucked in my mouth, and I was tied. I was just there mumbling, hoping somebody could hear me. It was Sunday, and most people would have gone to church; even the neighbour close to me had gone to church. Those were the only people who might faintly hear me mumbling.”
She claimed the attacker inserted a blade in her private parts to make her bleed.
“Later on, I was bleeding. I didn’t know why I was bleeding. I thought I got my period. The person texted me. It turns out this person inserted a face blade into my body and cut me so I could bleed,” she added.
