A young lady simply identified as Mirabel has taken to social media to lament a near death experience after she was raped in her apartment on Sunday.
In a now viral video shared by the victim (@mirab351) on TikTok, she bemoaned that the rapist raped her in her Lagos apartment.
She explained suffering from insomnia, drinking to sleep around 6 a.m., and then hearing knocks at 9 a.m.
“I thought it was my neighbor… immediately I opened the door, I got pushed back, I hit my head on the fridge, and I passed out,” she said.
Regaining consciousness, “There is a man over me, there is cloth stuffed in my mouth, I was just there mumbling… it is Sunday, most people had gone to church… Later, he left. I was bleeding… He used a face blade to cut me.”
Mirabel initially mistook the bleeding for her period but received a message request from the suspect identified as “Priston,” who confessed:
“I’m sure you don’t know me because you decided to close ur eyes even after waking up… we have met twice, and you kept ignoring me… I had to pay boys to stop the empty bike… You complimented the way I speak, and you said I smell nice, but you still refuse to give me ur number.”
He graphically described the attack on her body, using fingers and a blade to “I use the face blade cut you to simulate me being the first person there,” and warned:
“My father has the money to bury the case right before it gets to court… You can’t find me, and you don’t even have the money… You gats dey knack often make man dey pound you cause why you go get baby punani… in the nearest future, maybe 4 to 5 years, we would meet again and we would date… I love you; don’t see me as a bad person, okay? You turned me down twice.”
Mirabel, who was crying in her most recent video on Tuesday, admitted to drinking Sniper poison and trying to end her life. She credited a friend for getting her to the hospital quickly.
“I am too tired; I can’t respond to the message. I will respond when I get better, thank you,” she stated.
Her now viral video has attracted sympathy from well-meaning Nigerians, with many demanding the arrest and prosecution of the culprit.
