Miss Aishat Kamardeen, who was recently alleged to have been sexually assaulted, has publicly denied the claim, describing it as a politically motivated attempt to tarnish reputations.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin alongside her parents over the weekend, the 17-year-old, who turns 18 in February 2026, said the story making the rounds online was fabricated. “I was never raped by anyone. The rumors circulating online are false and politically driven. People should disregard those publications,” she stated.
Her father, Mr. Kamardeen, also dismissed the reports, insisting that his daughter is disciplined and well-brought-up. “When I heard that one ‘Aisha Kamardeen’ had been raped, I didn’t even think it was my daughter. The story was cooked up to tarnish the image of someone who has been helping the less privileged,” he said.
Similarly, her mother, Mrs. Tawalitu Kamardeen, affirmed that Aishat is morally upright and not involved in any romantic or inappropriate activity. “My daughter is not 15 years old, and she has never been raped. We call on well-meaning Nigerians to disregard the false online publication,” she said.
The family maintained that the report was a smear campaign targeting a prominent figure known for assisting the needy, urging authorities to investigate the source of the misinformation.
