The disturbing footage, originally shared by social media influencer @ChuksEricE, shows the woman tearing open a sachet, possibly of the herbal drink “Triple Action Bitter,” and then giving some of it to the infant. It’s the kind of thing that makes you recoil in disbelief.
The police, not surprisingly, are taking this incredibly seriously. They’ve rightly labeled the act “illegal and dangerous,” stressing that exposing a child to alcohol is a direct violation of Nigerian child welfare laws, and, frankly, a threat to the child’s wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
“We’re aware of this distressing video and are investigating urgently,” the police stated, clearly expressing their concern. They’re now calling on the public to help track down the woman, urging anyone with information to contact them at 09169967000. The authorities have made it clear: the child’s safety is their utmost priority.
The reaction online has been swift and fierce. People are understandably outraged. You can almost feel the collective gasp of horror echoing across social media. Comments range from disbelief to outright condemnation. One X user, @ibukun_tayo, perfectly summarized the general sentiment with a blunt, yet understandable, “Some people are not supposed to be allowed to have kids.”
This isn’t just a matter of right and wrong; it’s a stark reminder of the responsibility that comes with caring for a child. Let’s hope the authorities can find the woman in the video quickly and that the child is safe and sound. This is a situation that demands immediate attention.
