The Edo State Police Command said the state government has indicated an interest in the case of a four-year-old girl whose father stripped naked and uploaded her video on social media platforms.
The Edo State Command, in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the girl’s 28-year-old father has been arrested by the operatives of the command in Auchi, the administrative headquarters of Etsako West Local Government Area.
Nwabuzor had said that the command was aware of the trending video of a child of about four years old who was conspicuously naked and used as adult content in an undisclosed hotel in Auchi.
“The Edo State Commissioner of Police, Funsho Adegboye, immediately drafted a tactical team to go out and arrest the suspect and his cohort.
“Within 12 hours, the father of the girl was arrested. An investigation has commenced. Further revelations will be made known to the public,” he stated.
Speaking on the incident, Commissioner of Police Funsho Adegboye said: “It is true the incident happened. We are taking it up. The Edo State Commissioner for Gender is interested in the case; the office of the first lady of the state is also interested in the case, and it is being handled appropriately.”
