A disturbing case has emerged from Anambra State, where a mother was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing her underage daughters and filming the acts for an online audience — all in the name of making money.
The case, which has sent shockwaves across Nigeria, involves a mother from Anambra State who was apprehended by authorities after videos of her sexually abusing her own daughters were discovered circulating online.
In a video that has since gone viral following her arrest, the woman, rather than showing remorse for her heinous actions, shifted blame — claiming the devil was responsible for her actions. She also reportedly disclosed how much money she had been earning from sharing the disturbing content with her online audience.
What Happened?
According to reports, the woman had been recording herself sexually abusing her underage daughters using s£x toys and uploading the videos to online platforms where she earned money from subscribers or viewers.
The videos, which law enforcement confirmed as evidence, are said to clearly show the woman perpetrating the abuse on her own children — the very people she was supposed to protect.
Following her arrest, she was filmed making a confession in which she:
– Blamed the devil for influencing her actions
– Revealed the financial gains she had been making from the disturbing content
– Showed little to no remorse for the trauma inflicted on her daughters
Nigerians React With Outrage
As expected, Nigerians on social media have reacted with absolute fury and heartbreak. Many are calling for the harshest possible punishment under Nigerian law.
> “This is beyond wickedness. No devil made you do anything — you chose money over your own children’s innocence.”
> “The fact that she is talking about how much she made shows she has no remorse. Throw away the key.”
Child rights advocates have also weighed in, calling on the Nigerian government and relevant agencies — including the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP)* and the *National Child Rights Implementation Committee — to ensure that this case is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The Law and Child Protection in Nigeria
Under the Child Rights Act of Nigeria (2003)*, sexual abuse of a child is a serious criminal offence that can attract imprisonment of up to **14 years**. Additionally, the *Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act provides further legal frameworks to prosecute offenders.
The production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is also a federal offence*, and international agencies such as *Interpol have been known to collaborate with Nigerian authorities on such cases.
A Troubling Trend We Must Confront
This case, as horrifying as it is, shines a light on a deeply troubling reality — that the desperate pursuit of money online is pushing some Nigerians to unimaginable lows. The monetisation of child abuse content is not just a crime; it is an abomination.
No amount of poverty, financial pressure, or spiritual manipulation justifies the sexual abuse of a child — let alone one’s own flesh and blood.
The children involved are currently in the care of authorities. It is hoped that they will receive the psychological support and protection they desperately need as this case proceeds.
Nigerians must continue to speak up, report suspicious activity, and protect the most vulnerable among us. If you have information about child abuse, contact:
– NAPTIP Hotline: 0800-NAPTIP-NG
– Child Helpline Nigeria: 116
Justice must be served — for those children, and for every child in Nigeria.
