Popular Nigerian singer Simi has deactivated her social media account shortly after the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) announced it is prepared to investigate disturbing allegations involving a daycare facility.
The sudden disappearance of the singer’s verified account on Instagram on Wednesday sparked widespread reactions among fans and followers, many of whom noticed the change shortly after NAPTIP publicly addressed the matter.
NAPTIP, in an official statement shared on its verified platforms, said it had taken notice of the allegations currently circulating online and confirmed its readiness to launch a formal investigation.
“The agency is aware of the disturbing allegations and will take necessary steps to investigate and ensure the protection of all vulnerable persons involved,” the statement read.
While the agency did not mention any individual as a suspect or person of interest, the development has drawn intense public attention, particularly due to conversations on social media linking public figures and childcare environments.
As of press time, Simi has not issued any official statement explaining the reason for deactivating her account, and it remains unclear whether her decision is directly connected to the ongoing situation or is a personal move unrelated to the investigation.
Fans and observers have continued to express mixed reactions, with some urging caution and restraint while awaiting verified information from authorities.
NAPTIP reiterated its commitment to due process, emphasizing that investigations would be conducted professionally and that conclusions would only be drawn based on verified evidence.
The agency also encouraged members of the public to report credible information through official channels and avoid spreading unverified claims that could hinder investigations or cause unnecessary panic
