The Federal Government has waded into the controversy surrounding Nigerian singer Simi following the resurfacing of old tweets linked to her time working at her mother’s daycare years ago.
The development comes after several Nigerians called for an investigation and possible prosecution over comments the singer allegedly made more than a decade ago.
Over the past few days, screenshots of tweets attributed to Simi began circulating online.
The posts, reportedly made during her early days on social media, referenced her experiences while working at her mum’s daycare centre.
As the posts gained traction, some netizens demanded that relevant authorities step in to examine the matter more closely.
Amid the growing conversation, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traf*icking in Persons (NAPTIP) has now responded.
In a statement released on Tuesday, February 24, NAPTIP addressed the public concerns.
The agency noted that it is committed to investigating credible reports related to alleged misconduct in daycare settings.
“Following recent public discussions and concerns raised regarding alleged incidents of child sexual *buse/misconduct in daycare settings in Nigeria, we are committed to thoroughly investigating credible reports,” the statement read.
NAPTIP further urged anyone with factual information, direct knowledge, or evidence connected to the viral posts to reach out confidentially.
