Popular Nigerian TikToker Nsikak Abigail, also known as Mirabel, has announced her return to social media after leaving a rehabilitation programme in Ogun State, months after she was taken into police custody over a false rape allegation.
Mirabel made a series of posts on TikTok on Saturday, marking her first known public updates in months.
In one of the posts, the TikToker wrote, “I survived, so I’m awaiting your hate comments.”
In another post, she uploaded a video with the caption, “Out of therapy but not healed.”
She also wrote in another post, “Made peace with my mental health since rehab couldn’t help. Hi y’all.”
The posts appeared to mark her comeback to public life after months spent under the care of the Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development.
Mirabel first gained national attention in February 2026, when she posted a series of dramatic videos stating that she had been raped by an unidentified male who raided her home in Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area, Ogun State.
She said that the incident occurred on the morning of February 15, 2026, after she had consumed alcohol due to insomnia.
According to her version, she opened the door thinking the person outside was a neighbour, but the man allegedly pushed her back, forcing her to bang her head on a refrigerator and pass out.
She further said that the man tied her up, placed a rag in her mouth, and sexually attacked her before fleeing.
Mirabel further claimed that the accused attacker sent her messages and inserted a blade into her private areas, causing her to bleed.
Her allegations rapidly went viral on TikTok, garnering millions of views and sparking considerable indignation.
However, the tale was eventually called into doubt after social media users pointed out anomalies in her allegations and questioned certain portions of the supposed evidence.
The uproar erupted after Mirabel revealed in a viral exchange with VeryDarkMan that the rape accusation was untrue.
She claimed to have made the TikTok account supposedly used by the accused attacker and acknowledged being under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident.
She also mentioned having panic attacks and self-harm while pleading for help.
Following her admission, the Ogun State Police Command decided to investigate, and she willingly reported to the Ibafo Police Station.
She was then brought to the Ogijo police station, where she underwent medical examination and was treated.
Following her treatment, the police advised that she could face punishment for making a false accusation.
However, on February 25, 2026, she was released to the Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development for care while investigations were ongoing.
The development switched the focus from prosecution to rehabilitation, with officials claiming she needed psychosocial support.
In June, Oluwasina Ogungbade, the Ogun State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, stated that investigations by competent agencies, as well as Mirabel’s own confessions, revealed that the rape claim was “false and deliberately fabricated”.
According to Ogungbade, the enquiry determined that there was no culprit to apprehend or prosecute and that the original complaint posed no threat to public safety.
As a result, the state administration determined that psychosocial rehabilitation, rather than prosecution, would best serve the interests of justice.
Mirabel was therefore placed in the care of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, which was responsible for providing assistance as she underwent rehabilitation.
The government also condemned gender-based violence and fraudulent complaints, highlighting the potential harm such claims could cause to genuine survivors.
Her comeback to TikTok on Saturday marks around six months since the issue began.
Mirabel’s most recent posts did not specify when she left the rehabilitation facility or explain why she decided to return to social media.
However, her assertion that she was “out of therapy but not healed” implies that she may still be struggling with issues from the period leading up to her recovery.
She also appeared to accept the likelihood of further criticism from social media users, saying, “I survived, so I’m awaiting your hate comments.”
