Authorities in Lagos have launched an investigation into claims of child abuse at a local daycare centre. The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) confirmed that its operatives have begun a full inquiry following social media posts suggesting possible misconduct.
NAPTIP’s Director-General, Binta Adamu Bello, said the agency takes child protection very seriously and urged anyone with information to come forward through official channels.
The Lagos State Government is also involved. The Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the matter has been referred to the police for a preliminary review.
The claims came after old social media posts, allegedly linked to Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, resurfaced online. Simi has stated that the posts were misunderstood and denied any wrongdoing.
Authorities have reassured the public that all complaints will be handled promptly and carefully as the investigation continues.
