The Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development (MYSD), in collaboration with the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), has rescued a 9-year-old girl who was allegedly molested by one Baba Michael.
According to Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mr. Mobolaji Ogunlende, the rescue operation was carried out in response to a viral video posted by Comedienne Princess, which raised alarm about the incident.
The alleged assault occurred at the suspect's residence, located at 4, Azeez Ademola Street, off Anishere, Ayobo. The survivor has been placed in protective custody and is receiving necessary medical care and psychological support through counseling.
The alleged perpetrator has been apprehended and is currently in custody, with DSVA handling the legal proceedings to ensure justice is served.
Ogunlende emphasized the Lagos State Government's commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of all residents, particularly vulnerable persons.
He urged residents to continue reporting matters of concern to the ministry, adopting the mantra "See Something, Say Something, Sort It Out."
The commissioner reaffirmed the government's zero-tolerance stance on all forms of sexual and gender-based violence.
