“I’m truly sorry” – OAU female student begs schoolmate after ₦15m lawsuit, says ‘such will not repeat itself’

Ile-Ife, also known as Adeife, is a female student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) who has publicly apologised once more for allegedly raping her classmate David Adefesobi Ojuko.

She was sued for slander for ₦15 million, and the apology comes after that.

Adeife said that she mischaracterised David as a rapist in her WhatsApp status in a recent video that was made public.

She explained that her statement was made out of rage and expressed sincere regret for what she had done.

The charge, according to Adeife, followed a dispute between her and David regarding his stance on the popular “Mirabel crisis.”

She clarified that she reacted emotionally as the debate got more heated.

Adeife stated that she used careless language during the argument and that her remarks were hurtful.

She blatantly denied the accusation in the video, saying that her claim was untrue.

She stressed that her previous assertion was incorrect and that there was no proof to back up the accusation.

Adeife disclosed that in order to resolve the issue, both families convened a virtual meeting on Friday, February 20, 2026. She claimed that during the meeting, she took responsibility.

Read her words below:  

Good morning, everybody. My name is Ade Ife, and I am here today to sincerely apologise to Davi from the bottom of my heart.

Recently, I made a very wrong statement on my WhatsApp status, tagging David as a rapist. David had only shared his opinion about the Mirabelle’s ongoing saga, and our disagreement led me to speak very carelessly, and it is something that I truly regret.

I want to make it clear that David has never raped anybody. In fact, testimonies around shows that David is a very easygoing and respectful person.

Our families met on virtual meeting on Friday, February 20th, 2026, including myself and David. I accepted my wrongdoings and all discordance from the family members, and after the deliberation, it was decided that I should write a letter of apology to David. I should make a retraction video on my status and apologise to David, and thirdly, my parents should visit Ile Ife for the physical apology.

On Sunday, 22nd February, 2026, my family visited his family in Ile Ife for the physical apology. I have learned my lessons from these incidents. Words spoken in anger can cause serious harm, and I want others to learn from this that you should never let your emotions override you.

Once again, I am very, very sorry, David. I am truly sorry from the depth of my heart, and I want to promise everybody that such will not repeat itself. Thank you for listening. I am sorry once again, David. Thank you.
