On Thursday morning, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency announced that it had referred a case involving popular Nigerian singer Simisola, known as Simi, to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and a special task force for preliminary investigation.

The agency’s Executive Secretary, Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, shared this during an interview with Channels TV. She explained that the decision followed concerns raised over tweets Simi posted between 2012 and 2014.

Over the past week, the singer has been under heavy criticism on social media. The controversy began after she joined ongoing conversations about sexual assault in Nigeria. Soon after, some social media users dug up her old tweets and questioned them.

As the discussion grew, Simi responded by saying her past posts were taken out of context. According to her, people misquoted and misunderstood what she meant at the time.

Now, with the matter officially referred to the police for investigation, many are waiting to see how the situation will unfold.
