Miss Kamardeen Aishat has declared that she was not, at any time, abused sexually by anybody as alleged in some quarters.
It would be recalled that an online medium had recently alleged that Miss Kamardeen Aishat was sexually abused by a Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and former chairmanship aspirant in the last local government elections in Kwara State, Comrade Musbau Esinrogunjo.
Miss Aishat, who would be 18 years in February 2026, described the report as false, politically motivated, and an attempt to tarnish her image and that of Comrade Musbau Esinrogunjo, who was accused of the alleged crime.
Addressing a press conference in Ilorin, the state capital, alongside her parents, Mr. Kamardeen and Mrs. Tawalitu Kamardeen, Aishat clarified that she had to meet Comrade Esinrogunjo when she needed financial assistance, explaining that Esinrogunjo is known by all in the community as a generous man whom many people approach for help.
She said: “I was never raped by anyone. The rumours circulating online are false and politically driven. People should disregard those publications.”
Her father, Mr. Kamardeen, also debunked the rape allegation, stressing that his daughter is religious, disciplined, and well brought up.
He said: “When I first heard that one ‘Aisha Kamardeen’ had been raped, I didn’t even think it was my daughter. The publication mentioned a 15-year-old, but my daughter will be 18 in February next year.
“The story was cooked up to tarnish the image of my daughter and someone who has been helping the less-privileged.”
Similarly, Mrs. Tawalitu Kamardeen, mother of Aishat, affirmed that her daughter is morally upright, religious, and not involved in any relationship, let alone any sexual misconduct.
She added that the viral story was aimed at damaging both her daughter’s reputation and that of Comrade Esinrogunjo, a highly respected person in the community.
She added: “We call on well-meaning Nigerians to disregard the false online publication. My daughter is not 15 years old reported in the publication, and she has never been raped.”
