The Edo State Police Command has handed Baby Sarah Suleiman, a four-year-old girl whose photograph was inappropriately circulated on social media by her 27-year-old father, Musa Suleiman into the custody of Commissioner of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) for Edo State, Hon. Christabel Elawu, for specialized care.
The Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Funsho Adegboye, witnessed the handing over which took place in his office on Monday, May 13, 2024, at approximately 3 pm.
According to the police, Musa Suleiman remains under discreet investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department to ascertain the full extent of his involvement in this distressing situation.
The handover ceremony was attended by the Command’s management team, officials from the Edo State Gender-Based Violence department, alongside members of the Edo State Coalition of Civil Society.
It would be recalled that the Edo Police Command recently arrested Musa Suleman, for engaging his three-year-old daughter, Sarah Suleman, who is a kid model, in adult content on social media in the Auchi area of the state.
Suleman posted indecent pictures of the minor on her recently deactivated Instagram page, @officialsarah_ig, exposing sensitive parts of her body, as she posed erotically.
Some of the viral videos had generated concerns from Nigerians, who called for Suleman’s arrest because his daughter was not safe in his custody, as they feared that she might be involved in pornographic activities or sexually abused for monetary gains.
In an earlier statement, Suleman had clarified that his action was based on his inability to get support from social media users towards his passion, so he decided to “promote” his child’s modelling career.
He said, “One Nigeria, we cannot do comedy because no helper, this is what we can do. Help promote a model.”
