A Nigerian Police Command has arrested a father who uses his 4-year-old daughter for adult content.
This follows an alert from Nigerians on social media, who drew the attention of relevant authorities to the obscene photos of the minor posted on an Instagram account handled by the suspect.
Some of the photos sighted by Linda Ijeki's Blog include those of the minor in suggestive poses and thongs.
Others photos were taken at hotels in the company of her father and grown men.
The father also posted a flyer with a photo of the minor naked except for underwear, announcing her birthday party scheduled to be held on May 28, 2024, at Spring Leaders Montessori School in Auchi.
Social media users feared that the minor is a victim of sexual exploitation and called on the police to immediately arrest the men, including the photographer who took the birthday photos.
Spokesperson of the command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Sunday, May 12, 2024.
“The Edo State Police Command is aware of the trending video of a child of about 4 years old conspicuously naked and used as an adult content in an undisclosed hotel in Auchi, Edo State,” the statement read.
“The Commissioner of Police Edo State Command, CP Funsho Adegboye, immediately drafted a tactical team to go all out and arrest the suspect and his cohort.
“Within 12 hours, the father of the girl was arrested. Investigation has commenced further revelation will be made known to the public.
“The CP therefore appeal to the good citizens of Nigeria to remain calm that justice will be serve.”
