The Federal Government has responded to calls from Nigerians to investigate the alleged child sexual abuse at singer Simi’s mother’s daycare centre.
This followed the resurfacing of Simi’s old posts on X amid rape allegations made by a TikTok user identified as Mirabel.
The singer had previously raised concerns about the growing culture of sexual assault in the country. While explaining that almost every woman she knows has experienced sexual assault, she recommended strict punishment for offenders. Her post led to online exchanges with users who held differing opinions.
Amid the controversy, some of the singer’s old tweets about her experiences with children at her mother’s daycare resurfaced online, with some users alleging they suggested inappropriate intent.
Reacting to calls from netizens, the Nigerian government, through the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, assured the public of its commitment to investigating every credible claim of child sexual abuse and misconduct.
In a post on its official X handle, NAPTIP urged anyone with concrete information or victims to reach out confidentially.
“If you have factual information, evidence, or were directly affected, please reach out confidentially via DM or email info@naptip.gov.ng.”
