NAPTIP faces backlash over daycare abuse response, accused of double standards
NAPTIP issued a statement Tuesday calling for credible reports of child sexual abuse in Nigerian daycare centres, sparking accusations of double standards. Critics argue the agency's approach differs from its handling of male public figures like Speed Darlington, with lawyer Muhammed Adam demanding direct investigation rather than public appeals. Social media users questioned why singer Simisola Kosoko wasn't named, suggesting leniency due to her gender. The controversy follows resurfaced 2012-2013 tweets from Kosoko where she described inappropriate interactions with a 4-year-old 'David' at her mother's daycare, which she later defended as youthful jokes. NAPTIP did not mention Kosoko in its statement, though some users connected the call to her past posts.
