The Nigeria Police Force has launched an urgent investigation into a disturbing viral video circulating on social media, which shows a young woman giving alcohol to a few-month-old baby. The video, originally shared by social media influencer @ChuksEricE, has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious concerns about the child’s safety.
In the video, the woman is seen tearing open a sachet of what is believed to be Triple Action Bitter with her teeth, consuming some of the contents, and then offering it to the infant. The Nigeria Police Force described the act as “illegal and dangerous,” emphasizing that exposing children to alcohol violates Nigerian child welfare laws and poses significant risks to their physical and mental health.
In a statement issued on Monday, the police called on the public to assist in identifying and apprehending the woman involved. They provided a contact number, 09169967000, for anyone with information that could lead to her swift arrest. “We are aware of this distressing video and are investigating urgently,” the police stated. “The child’s safety is our top priority.”
The police also urged @ChuksEricE and other members of the public to share any relevant details that could aid the investigation. Social media reactions have been intense, with many users expressing shock and anger over the incident. Some have speculated that the video might have been staged for social media engagement, though the police have not commented on this possibility.
The Nigeria Police Force has assured the public that it is fully committed to ensuring the child’s safety and bringing the perpetrator to justice. Authorities have vowed to provide updates as the investigation progresses.
