Singer Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, has taken issue with the Nigeria Police Department’s statement that they will “counsel” Musa Suleman, the Edo father who was detained for indulging his kid model daughter Sarah, who is four years old, in explicit social media material.
In a response to an X user who brought the obscene act to his attention on Sunday, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police Force, revealed that the father had been detained.
The Edo State Police Command, he said, will “counsel the parents rather than prosecute them.”
An act of immorality that puts the child in danger was written by the PFRO. Rather than prosecute, the PPRO of Edo Command will counsel the parents on the matter. The consequences of our actions are unknown to many of us.
They, like many others, will be educated by us. The girl will be exposed to the moral risks and systemic decay in our society if this kind of thing happens. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) can and should be used in some of the instances that we handle. Hello, @EdoPoliceNG and @PoliceNG.
When asked about the police’s decision to counsel the parents rather than persecute them, Simi reacted negatively.
“You wish to ‘advise’ parents who openly and repeatedly abuse their infant?” she wrote. Whoa, a little kid of four! Excuse me, what’s happening? “Oh my.”
