I saw this man earlier this evening in Wuye, behaving inappropriately towards some underage girls selling groundnuts. He appeared to be working probably as a gateman in one of the houses in the area. When I approached them, he suddenly walked away, telling the girls he would return. This happened shortly after he noticed me getting out of my car with my phone. Suspecting that he might have sensed something was wrong, I pretended to be a customer wanting to buy some groundnuts, as shown in the second video. The girls initially described him as their regular customer. While it appears that he forcefully takes groundnuts from their trays and eat them while pretending to be playing and touching them. What particularly disturbed me was that there were people around, yet nobody seemed concerned enough to intervene. This is a dangerous precedent in our society. Situations like this should never be ignored. What may appear harmless to some could expose these vulnerable children to further exploitation and abuse. Parents, guardians and adults in our communities must be more vigilant. Sending young children out to hawk exposes them to risks from people who may take advantage of their vulnerability. We all have a responsibility to protect them. May Allah protect our children, guide us and provide for our families.🙏🏾
