A female student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Adeife, has issued another public apology to her colleague, David Adefesobi Ojuko, after previously accusing him of ra.pe — an allegation that led to a N15 million defamation suit against her.
In a fresh video, Adeife admitted that she falsely labelled David a ra.pist on her WhatsApp status, explaining that her claim was made out of anger during a disagreement.
She said the dispute began after David shared his opinion on the trending “Mirabel issue,” which sparked an argument between them. According to her, emotions escalated and she reacted impulsively, making a serious accusation she now deeply regrets.
Adeife categorically withdrew the allegation in the video, stressing that there was no truth to her earlier claim.
“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.”
She disclosed that both families held a virtual meeting on February 20, 2026, where she accepted responsibility. It was agreed that she would issue a written apology, post a public retraction, and that her parents would visit David’s family in Ile-Ife for a formal apology, which later took place on February 22.
Adeife said the incident has taught her a painful lesson about the consequences of speaking in anger, urging others not to allow emotions to lead to damaging statements.
