The Lagos Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has appealed to the public to help locate a TikTok user who recently shared that she was raped 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 your 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 your 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.
