VIDEO: OAU student apologises after falsely accusing schoolmate of being rapist

A female student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), identified simply as Adeife, has publicly apologised after previously accusing her schoolmate, David, of being a rapist.

The apology follows a viral video in which David denied the allegation and said the accusation began after he shared his opinion on WhatsApp about the trending “Mirabel issue.”

David had explained that the disagreement escalated into online attacks, with Adeife allegedly tagging him as a rapist and circulating his content in group chats.

In a new video now circulating on social media, Adeife admitted that she falsely accused David in the heat of the moment and allowed her emotions to take over.

She clarified that David is not a rapist and said she has never witnessed or had any evidence of him committing such an act.

Adeife also expressed regret over the post and apologised directly to David while clearing the air publicly.

She said, “Good afternoon, everyone. I’m making this video to apologise to David in regards to the post I made yesterday, calling him a rapist, and accusing him of being a rapist because of his post. It was the heat of the moment. I let my emotions take over me, and I accused him. So this is me apologising and clearing the air that he is not a rapist. 

“He is never a rapist. I’ve never caught him raping anybody. So I am sorry, David, I’m sorry for calling you a rapist, and this is just to clear the air. He is not a rapist. David is not a rapist.”
