‘I wanted her to become a celebrity’- Man arrested for sexualizing his daughter on IG
The Nigerian man currently being held in Edo State for posting indecent content of his four-year-old daughter, Sarah, online said his sole aim was to make her a celebrity.
After his arrest on Sunday, May 12, he was interrogated by the police and in a video recorded, the man said he did not mean any harm when he posted her photos online.
He said he just wanted his daughter to become a model as she is too young to be a comedian.
“I did not mean to harm anybody. I have been so used to watching content creators, comedy and others. I felt she is too small and cannot be doing comedy. I started to bring her up in the model way by wearing model dresses like ‘catapult pant’ to cover herself and make her as a model. This month, May 28 is her birthday. I want to do her birthday bash. I posted it on her page and it went viral.”
When asked if his action was right, the distraught father said, ‘’I wanted her to become a celebrity”
The little girl is currently in the custody of the Edo state government.
It would be recalled that the police arrested the father of the minor in Auchi on Sunday, May 12, 2024, after her semi-nude videos and photos sparked public outrage on social media.
Some images also showed the minor in revealing clothes while in the company of her father and some men in a hotel.
