The Nigeria Police Force has launched an investigation into a disturbing viral video that shows a woman feeding alcohol to a young child.

In the footage, the woman — believed to be the child’s mother — is seen giving the boy an alcoholic beverage. She claimed she did so to help him sleep at night.

In response, the police issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), urging the public to assist in locating the woman involved.

The statement read:
“We are aware of this distressing video and have commenced an urgent investigation. Giving alcohol to a child is both illegal and extremely dangerous. We urge #ChuksEricE and any other member of the public with relevant information that could lead to the swift identification and arrest of the woman to come forward. Please contact us on 09169967000. Ensuring the child’s safety remains our top priority.”
