The release of an alleged child molester, C. Prince who is known to be an actor and costumier in Asaba, has motivated an online controversy.
The actor was accused of violently violating an underage child during a movie set in the capital city of Delta State.
The event of his release has sparked a lot of reactions from citizens on social media – with some questioning his bail from the Nigerian Police in Asaba, where the incident happened.
It was disclosed that the case has been transferred to the State CID.
The incident happened on January 29, 2024, when a 10-year-old girl actor was allegedly lured into a room by the actor for a change of clothes on set, and when she answered the call of the costumer, she was violated sexually.
According to the report, it was said that immediately the alleged child molester was caught in the act, he was taken to GRA police station, where later it was discovered he had been released following the victim’s mother’s withdrawal of the case.
Reacting to the controversy, Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, shared on his Instagram handle the release of the alleged suspect.
He posted an affidavit signed by the survivor’s mother, Austin Timi, stating that the case against the actor should be dropped.
In a displayed document, it was said that the alleged perpetrator has shown remorse for his action, and the public should know that the case of her 10-year-old daughter, Austin Ebitimi, being violated has been dropped due to the psychological trauma that her daughter will have to undergo if the case of defilement is still ongoing.

He added that the bail was temporary prior to the time the parents of the survivor would be ready to follow due process.
“Regarding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old girl by the actor, Prince, I want members of the public to read how the mother of the victim compounded the entire case, stating that she and her family have forgiven the suspect.
“She refused to show up with the victim. Attached are screenshots of text messages and an affidavit. On the premise of that, the suspect was granted temporary bail with the hope that the family would do the right thing,” he said.
