A yet-to-be-identified Nigerian man has been arrested after one month of getting to the United Kingdom for sending explicit texts and photos to a 14-year-old girl.

In aviral video, the man was seen answering questions while been detained by authorities in the United Kingdom.

While being interrogated, he confessed to being engaged in an illegal explicit relationship with minor.

In his confession, he said, I spoke to a young lady, she told me she was 13 years, we have just been talking about friendship and all.
