She says that between the time the video went viral on social media and midnight, her attempts to contact the National Child Protection Authority police unit to advise them to arrest the main suspect were unsuccessful.
One person who has tried to contact the Minister of State over the phone is a female Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police. The State Minister alleges that the Senior DIG responded to her call after waking up the next day.
It is for this reason that the police unit attached to the Child Protection Authority has been blamed.
However, the state minister has expressed her appreciation for the police’s haste to arrest the suspect.
