A viral video has sparked outrage after a man allegedly attempted to lure a young girl hawking avocados with N1,000 for sexual purposes.
Content creator LordZeus shared the clip on Instagram on Monday, showing the suspect confronting the girl and offering her money to follow him to a secluded spot. The girl refused and reported his actions to bystanders.
When questioned, the man claimed he was the girl’s father, but she contradicted him, saying he asked her to “touch body” in exchange for the cash. Some onlookers defended the man, saying he was mentally unstable and had approached other children before.
One bystander said, “Leave him, he’s not well.”
LordZeus rejected this defence, stressing that alleged mental illness does not justify targeting a minor. He also warned parents against letting underage girls hawk alone, urging them to accompany their children if necessary.
He wrote, “Parents please, no matter how hard life gets, do not allow your girl child especially underage to hawk on the streets alone. Even If they must hawk, hawk alongside them.
“They are constantly at risk of se*xual harassment, and many of them will never speak up. I’ve hawked before, so I know exactly what life on the street is like.
“Imagine if this man was able to manipulate the little girl with just 1,000 naira , this will be unimaginable.”
The incident highlights the vulnerability of young girls on the streets and underscores the urgent need for parental vigilance and community protection.
