Following backlash from netizens and concerned Nigerians over resurfaced old tweets by popular Nigerian singer, Simi, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has stepped in, stating that it will investigate issues related to the daycare mentioned in the singer’s past post.
In a press release, the agency emphasized its commitment to child protection, stating:
“We take all reports of child sexual abuse or misconduct seriously and are committed to investigating every credible claim. If you have factual information, evidence, or were directly affected, please reach out confidentially via DM or email [email protected].”
The development comes after the singer’s old tweet, which some interpreted as suggestive of child molestation and pedophilia, resurfaced and circulated widely over the weekend, sparking outrage across social media.
There have also been reports from listeners that some of the singer’s songs were unavailable on Spotify, although there has been no official statement from the platform confirming any removal at the time of this report.
