The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons NAPTIP has moved to investigate allegations of daycare abuse claims involving singer Simi’s public remarks that drew attention to child welfare concerns.
NAPTIP confirmed it is assessing reports related to alleged misconduct at certain daycare facilities. The agency emphasized that any case involving minors requires urgent and thorough investigation to safeguard children’s rights.
Officials stated that protecting children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation remains a core mandate of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons. The agency collaborates with law enforcement and social welfare departments when credible reports emerge.
Child protection advocates say daycare facilities must adhere to strict safety and monitoring standards. Proper staff screening, surveillance systems, and transparent complaint mechanisms are essential in preventing abuse.
Legal experts note that allegations must be handled carefully to ensure fairness to all parties involved while prioritizing the wellbeing of children.
Public reactions have intensified discussions on childcare regulation, prompting calls for more frequent inspections and stronger licensing enforcement across states.
NAPTIP assured the public that investigations will follow due process and that findings will be communicated transparently where appropriate.
Observers believe the development underscores the need for improved oversight in private childcare services. Strengthening regulatory compliance may help prevent future incidents and reinforce trust in early childhood institutions.
