‘You want to counsel man who sexualised 4-year-old daughter?’ — Simi slams police

Published

on

Simi, the Nigerian singer, has criticised the police over their method of handling a case of alleged child exploitation.

A young man named Musa Suleman was arrested for allegedly posting semi-nude photos of his four-year-old daughter on social media.

The case was launched after an X user flagged the inappropriate content to Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police spokesperson.

Adejobi confirmed Suleman’s arrest, adding that the Edo state police command planned to “counsel” the father instead of pressing charges.

“This is an act of indecency and exposing the young child to moral dangers. The PPRO of Edo command will take it up and counsel the parents rather than prosecute them,” he wrote.

“Many of us do not know the implications of what we do. We will educate them, and many alike. This kind of a thing will expose the girl to the rots in our system and moral dangers. Not in all cases we prosecute, there is a room for ADR and CSR in our duties, and we shall be adopting such. @EdoPoliceNG, @PoliceNG.”

The approach sparked outrage from some X users including Simi, who took to her page to criticise the police.

“You want to “counsel” parents that blatantly and repeatedly sexually exploit a baby??? A FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD!!! Wtf is going on?????? Omg,” she wrote.

Suleman’s child exploitation case comes days after the Lagos sexual offences and domestic violence court sentenced Success Ude to 14 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy with hearing and speech impairments.

Ude pleaded not guilty to the charge when he was first arraigned on February 17, 2022.

During the ruling on May 9, the judge held that all evidence presented in the case indicates the defendant’s guilt, leading to a conviction under section 262 of the criminal law.

Liam not my grandson, he doesn’t look like Mohbad, Joseph Aloba insists

Published

By

Joseph Aloba, the father of Mohbad, has reiterated his doubts about the paternity of his grandson, Liam.

Liam is the son of Mohbad and his wife, Omowunmi.

Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, and was buried the following day. On September 21, his body was exhumed by police for an autopsy.

Aloba has been vocal about his demands for justice, calling for the police to probe Omowunmi and for a DNA test to be conducted on Liam.

Aloba had refused to rebury Mohbad and emphasized the need to confirm Liam’s biological connection to him.

However, Omowunmi accused her father-in-law of avoiding a DNA test.

In a recent interview with Silverbird Television, Aloba reiterated his doubts about Liam’s paternity.

When asked if Liam looked like Mohbad, Aloba vehemently said “no”. “With what I’m seeing, he is not my grandson,” he said.

He also expressed frustration that Omowunmi and her family have not brought Liam to him, “despite knowing my house address”.

“As a father, they know where I am living. Yes (They do not come to me). I do not want to speak about it now because the case is still in court,” he said.

“As a father, they are supposed to bring the child to me. Now, I demand DNA, they are supposed to say ‘Daddy go and do it at your convenient time’.

“It has become public now. Let the court speak to that. With what I’m seeing, he is not my grandson.”

Aloba added that he would only accept Liam as his grandson if the “DNA test says otherwise”.

Aloba’s concerns come at about the same time when Abosede, Mohbad’s mum, clashed with Fabiyi over an accusation against the singer’s brother.

Fabiyi claimed Adura knew the cause of Mohbad’s death and requested money to share information with him.

David Lynch, the visionary US filmmaker behind iconic works like ‘Mulholland Drive’ and ‘Twin Peaks’, has passed away at the age of 78.

His family announced his death on his Facebook page on Thursday evening — although the cause of death was not revealed.

“It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch,” the post reads.

“We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

“It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”

Born in Missoula, Montana in 1946, Lynch went to art college in the 1960s. He moved to Los Angeles in 1971 and studied film-making at the AFI Conservatory, where he began filming his first feature Eraserhead.
