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 came after Simi’s old posts on X surfaced on social media amid the rape allegation by a Tiktok user identified as Mirabel.

 

Ugamatv reports that the singer had raised concerns over the growing sexual assault culture in the country.

 

 

While explaining that almost every woman she knows are victims of sexual assault, she recommended that rapists should be castrated.

 

Her post resulted in an online exchange between her and others with contradictory opinions.

 

 

Amid the controversy, some of the singer’s old tweet about experience with children at her mother’s daycare resurfaced online, with users alleging it suggested inappropriate intent.

 

Reacting to call from netizens, the Nigeria government through the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, assured the public of its commitment to investigate every credible claim of child sexual abuse and misconduct.

 

NAPTIP in a post on its official X, urged anyone with concrete information or victims to reach out confidentially.
