The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi, while responding to an X user, who called his attention to the indecent act on Sunday, disclosed that the parent has been arrested.
He, however, stated that the Edo State Police Command would “counsel the parents rather than prosecute them.”
The PFRO wrote, “This is an act of indecency and exposing the young child to moral dangers. The PPRO of Edo Command will take it up and counsel the parents rather than prosecute them. Many of us don’t know the implications of what we do. We will educate them, and many alike. This kind of a thing will expose the girl to the rots in our system and moral dangers. Not in all cases we prosecute, there is a room for ADR and CSR in our duties, and we shall be adopting such. @EdoPoliceNG, @PoliceNG.”
Reacting, Simi faulted the police for choosing to counsel the parents instead of persecution.
She wrote, “You want to ‘counsel’ parents that blatantly and repeatedly sexually exploit a baby??? A four year old child!!! Wtf is going on?????? Omg.”
