In another story, Singer Simi faults Police for counselling man arrested for posting daughter’s n@ked pictures online.
Recall the police public relations officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, announced the arrest and stated that the Edo State Police Command would opt for counseling the parents instead of pursuing legal action.
The police officer described the incident as an “act of indecency” that exposes the child to harm.
Simi and many others have however criticized this approach, emphasizing the severity of the offense and the need for accountability.
Simi believes that counseling may not be sufficient in addressing the gravity of the situation.
