The Lagos state police command has arrested Adeyeye
Babatunde, a young man, who was seen in a viral video “inappropriately” kissing
a minor.
In the said video, Babatunde, a 400-level botany student of
the Lagos State University (LASU), was seen kissing a three-year-old girl,
which he claimed to be his step sister, on Tuesday at their residence in Kajola
street, Shagamu in Ogun state.
The incident had earlier sparked outrage on social media
platforms with a number of Nigerians calling on appropriate authorities to
investigate the matter.
Bala Elkana, the command’s spokesman, however, broke news of
his arrest on Friday. “It’s true,” he said.
Elkana said his arrest followed the directive of Hakeem
Odumosu, the state commissioner of police, to the force’s gender unit to
analyse the video and apprehend the suspect.
He added that the suspect has been handed over to the state
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Yaba for further investigation.
Speaking after his arrest, Babatunde said he had no evil
intention while kissing the little girl. He also apologised for his action.
“I am really sorry for what I did. I never thought it would
turn out this way. I didn’t have any bad intention doing that,” he said.
