Simi: NAPTIP begins probe into Lagos daycare abuse allegations

0

The Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Binta Adamu Bello, has ordered a full-scale investigation into allegations of child molestation and abuse at an undisclosed daycare facility in Lagos.

The move comes as the fallout continues over resurfaced social media posts allegedly linked to popular Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, also known as Simi.

In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, the Agency confirmed that the Director-General directed operatives to begin an immediate inquiry following “suggestive online posts” that pointed toward potential child abuse within a daycare setting.

The post read, “Director General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Binta Adamu Bello, OON, has directed Operatives of the Agency to commence a full-scale investigation into the alleged Child Molestation and Abuse in a Day-care setting in Lagos, as deduced from the suggestive online post by a popular Nigeria Singer.

“Anyone with useful information is urged to come forward and report through our official channels. Child protection remains our priority,” it added.

NAPTIP’s probe follows a similar move by the Lagos State Government.
