Activist Just Adetoun has apologized following heavy criticism over her viral video condemning a woman for bringing her daughter to sweep a compound in Ikoyi at 4 a.m
In the video, Adetoun labeled the act as child labor and called out the woman, but she was met with backlash for disrespecting both mother and child.
After visiting the woman, she discovered that she travels from Oworo to Ikoyi for the job, earning just ₦19,500 per month.
Moved by the woman’s struggles, Adetoun offered to place her on a monthly salary in addition to her existing earnings.
Sharing the update on Instagram, she wrote:
“Apologies on how you all saw the video. I knew something was wrong, but the right of the child was most important. She comes all the way from inside Oworo to Ikoyi just for ₦19,500 monthly 😢. My intention was clear in my caption.”
Her apology has sparked fresh reactions online. While some praised her for taking responsibility and offering help, others dismissed it as mere damage control.
