Big Brother Naija Star, Natacha Akide, better known as Tacha, has demanded the prosecution of a female TikTok user, identified as Mirabel, after admitting that her earlier claim of r@pe was false.
Recall that Mirabel had earlier alleged that she was attacked and r@ped by a stranger who forcibly gained access to her apartment in the Ogijo area of Ogun State.
The allegation, which she shared on the social media platform TikTok, sparked widespread outrage, with many users calling for swift action against sexual violence.
However, Mirabel, in the audio recording of a conversation, shared online by social media critic, VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM, admitted that her previous claim was false, stressing that she has been dealing with serious personal and mental health struggles.
She said, “Yes, sir, please help me, I am very sorry, I have been taking drugs, and I was not thinking clearly when I posted the videos.”
Following the development, the Ogun State Police Command has concluded plans to arrest and prosecute Mirabel.
A police source, who spoke with PUNCH, said that a Divisional Police Officer and other senior officers were at the hospital where Mirabel was receiving treatment, noting that she would be taken into custody upon discharge and charged in court.
The source said, “The DPO and some senior police officers are currently at the hospital where she is admitted. Once she is discharged, she will be taken into custody, and a charge will be prepared against her for trial. The essence is to serve as a deterrent to others.”
In a post via 𝕏, Tacha said police and the agencies in charge of handling r@pe and assault cases should make sure they penalise Mirabel and make sure she receives the same punishment a r@pist would get.
She wrote, “Now that its been established that Mirabel lied about the r@pe allegation, I expect the police and the agencies in charge of handling r@pe and assault cases to make sure they penalize Mirabel and that she receives the same punishment a r*pist would get… CAUSE we live in a very wicked and terrible society where r*pists and r*pe apologists are looking for excuses to continue to r*pe and abuse women..
We should NEVER allow stupid women to empower these evil and wicked men! She must be penalized.”
