A Call to Protect Our Children
This case is a stark reminder that child sexual abuse remains a deeply rooted problem in many Nigerian communities — one that thrives in silence, stigma, and impunity. Too many families are pressured to settle such cases quietly, allowing perpetrators to walk free and offend again.
Every Nigerian child deserves to be safe, protected, and free from harm. It is the responsibility of every community member to speak up when they suspect a child is being abused. Do not look away.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual violence, please contact the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) or your nearest police station immediately.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
