The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) is seeking public assistance to identify and locate a TikTok user known as Mirabel (@mirab351).

The appeal follows a viral video posted on February 15, in which she tearfully recounted being sexually assaulted in her apartment by a stranger.

The agency shared this appeal in a statement on its official social media accounts on Tuesday, confirming active efforts to contact the survivor amid widespread concern.

Following the viral video, the hashtag #StopRapingWomen has taken over X (Formerly Twitter), with thousands of users calling for urgent action against sexual assault and greater protection for survivors.

The survivor, identified as Mirabel (@mirab351 on TikTok), posted on Monday about the assault occurring Sunday, February 15.

She explained suffering from insomnia, drinking to sleep around 6 a.m., then hearing knocks at 9 a.m.

“I thought it was my neighbour… immediately I opened the door, I got pushed back, I hit my head on the fridge and 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, 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.”

In her most recent video on Tuesday, a crying Mirabel revealed attempting suicide by drinking Sniper toxin, crediting a friend for rushing her to the hospital.

“I am too tired, I can’t respond to the message. I will respond when I get better, thank you,” she stated.

The Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) said it had “taken note of the multiple tags and public concerns regarding a video currently circulating on social media,” in which a young woman shared her alleged experience of sexual assault.

The agency emphasised that its team was “actively making efforts to reach the survivor to offer immediate support and appropriate intervention, and ascertain her location.”

It urged the public to assist in the search, adding: “If anyone has credible information that can help us reach her directly and safely, please contact the Agency by sending us a DM on any of our official social media channels.”

DSVA also reaffirmed the Lagos State Government’s commitment to protecting survivors, stating: “Sexual assault is a crime, and every survivor deserves protection, care, support and justice. Reports are treated with utmost confidentiality and urgency.”

For those seeking assistance or wishing to report cases, the agency provided multiple contact channels, including phone numbers 0813-796-0048 and 0-8000-333-333, USSD *6820# (MTN), WhatsApp 0812-893-7058, and its official website at https://ekoselfreport.ng.

The incident comes barely a week after another TikTok user, Fems (@femsbaby_x), reported being raped alongside a friend following a modelling shoot. After sharing her harrowing experience on TikTok, she was able to receive guidance and support to pursue the case.

On February 12, Fems said she was referred to the Ikeja Gender Unit by the daughter of Fuji star Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (K1), Barr. Dami Marshall, who also provided legal assistance after their initial report to another station was ignored.

She added that the case is now “being taken very seriously” and expressed gratitude to the community for their support, while also appealing for financial assistance to help cover legal and related expenses.

Reacting to both incidents, Lagos State Police Command spokesperson SP Abimbola Adebisi said the posts had been forwarded to the Command’s Gender Unit and added, “I have also reached out to her through her TikTok handle. I sincerely hope she responds so as to assist the Police in conducting a thorough investigation.”

Protesters have returned to the National Assembly Complex in Abuja on Tuesday for a second consecutive day of demonstrations intensifying calls for real-time transmission of election results from polling units to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s IREV portal.

Slogans like “We no go gree, Akpabio pass the bill,” were heard as the group is demanding the mandatory real-time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026.

Some protesters were also heard chanting “Our vote must count.”

The demonstrators also carried placards bearing strong messages, including “Don’t alter the bill, pass it,” and “Rigging election is a coup,” alongside other inscriptions.

The chants were directed at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, as demonstrators urged the leadership of the National Assembly to prioritise the bill.
