Mildred Ebuka, a 17-year-old girl who went missing on Thursday while running errands in Lagos, has been found by police in Bauchi State.
Clariform gathered that Miss Mildred Ebuka left her Victoria Island home on Thursday to deliver a wig hat to her aunt’s acquaintance in the Ikorodu neighborhood of Lagos.
The public was notified by the Bauchi Police Command on Friday to identify the girl in their custody.
According to a statement via the official Twitter handle of the Nigeria Police Force:
“The bearer Mildred Joshua Ebuka female aged 17yrs-old of Block 19 Ubandale street Victoria Island Lagos State, whose photograph appeared below left home on Thursday 25/08/2022 to deliver a message of a wig cap to her aunty’s friend in Ikorodu, on the way she stopped a taxi bus not far from her home, from thereon she found herself in Bauchi.”
“She hails from Lagos and speaks English Language fluently. Wore light blue blouse shirt and trouser, fair in complexion and she has no tribal mark.”
Mildred was found at a park in Bauchi, according to SP Ahmed Wakil, the State Police Public Relations Officer, who spoke to our reporter on Friday.
According to Mr.Ahmed Wakil:
“The essence of sharing the information is to find her parent. She could not remember anything when she arrived Bauchi. A lady woke her up in the park, and she did not know where she was.”
“So, they contacted the police, and our public relations office called my attention to it. That was why I made it public.”
However, our reporter found that the street reported in the police statement did not exist after checking the address.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, verified that the street didn’t exist when he was contacted too.
P Benjamin Hundeyin said:
“We hope her relatives would reach out when they see her picture.”
