Man Caught Luring Child Hawker for Sex with ₦1,000

A disturbing incident surfaced on social media where a man was caught on video trying to lure a young girl who was hawking avocados with ₦1,000 for sexual purposes. The video was posted by content creator Lordzeu on Instagram on Monday, who confronted the suspect.

While the man denied the allegations, the girl contradicted his claims, stating that he had approached her and asked her to follow him to a secluded place, promising to give her ₦1,000. When she refused, he attempted to persuade her with cash.

During the confrontation, bystanders pleaded on behalf of the suspect, who claimed to be mentally unstable. Lordzeu challenged this defense, questioning why mental illness should excuse inappropriate behavior towards minors.

He cautioned parents against allowing young girls to hawk alone, highlighting the risks of sexual harassment. The video serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by female child hawkers and the need to protect their safety and dignity.
