The Edo State government, has taken custody of the four-year-old girl who was used in making illicit contents by her father on social media
Recall that NPO Reports that the police arrested the father of the minor in Auchi on Sunday, May 12, 2024,
This was following discovery of the social media account which the father uses in displaying semi nude images and videos of her.
Some images also showed the minor in revealing clothes while in the company of her father and some men in a hotel.
This move has since then sparked outrage across the nation.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Samuel Alli, confirmed taking custody of the girl in a post via X on Monday.
“The child is now in our custody for proper medical examination and care.
“We will keep you updated on her welfare.
“Thank you all for your contributions to ensure our kids are safe and sound both in health and mind.”
