A video has emerged online showing an elderly man allegedly trying to lure a young girl by selling avocados for ₦1000 for sexual reasons.
The incident was highlighted in a viral video by content creator LordZeus, who posted the clip on Instagram on Monday and confronted the man involved.
When asked about the situation, the man denied the claims and said he was the girl’s father. However, the girl contradicted him, saying he approached her and asked her to go with him to a private area to “touch body,” offering her ₦1,000. She mentioned that when she refused, he took out the cash to try to convince her.
During the confrontation, several bystanders spoke up for the suspect, saying he was mentally unwell and suggesting that the girl was not the first child he had approached.
“Leave him, he’s not well,” one voice stated in the video.
In response, LordZeus questioned the defense, asking why supposed mental illness should excuse such actions towards a minor.
He also took the opportunity to caution parents about allowing young girls to sell goods, pointing out that female child vendors are frequently at risk of exploitation and abuse.
He wrote, “Parents please, no matter how hard life gets, do not allow your girl child especially underage to hawk on the streets alone. Even If they must hawk, hawk alongside them.
“They are constantly at risk of se*xual harassment, and many of them will never speak up. I’ve hawked before, so I know exactly what life on the street is like.
“Imagine if this man was able to manipulate the little girl with just 1,000 naira , this will be unimaginable.
“Ihe na-eme nu o. Let’s do everything possible to protect our girl children. Their safety and dignity must come first before any other thing. It can only get better ❤️🩹”
