Popular Nigerian singer Simi, also known as Simisola Kosoko, has criticized the Nigeria Police for their response to the case involving Musa Suleman, a father from Edo State who was arrested for involving his four-year-old daughter, Sarah Suleman, a child model, in inappropriate content on social media.
In a statement addressing the situation, the Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, mentioned that the parent had been apprehended but emphasized that the Edo State Police Command intends to provide "counseling" to the parents rather than pursuing legal action against them.
Simi expressed her disapproval of this approach, highlighting the seriousness of the matter and the need for appropriate consequences. She questioned the decision to prioritize counseling over prosecution in such a concerning case involving the exploitation of a child.
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.”
