The police said on Friday that a teenager who was reported missing in Lagos has been located in Bauchi State.
A 17-year-old woman named "Mildred Joshua Ebuka" reportedly left her Victoria Island, Lagos home on Thursday to give a wig hat to her aunt's acquaintance in Ikorodu, according to a police statement.
She stopped a taxi bus on the way near her house.
However, police officials said that she had been discovered in Bauchi and asked the public to notify her parents.
“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,” the Bauchi state police said in a statement signed by spokesperson Ahmed Mohammed Wakil.
In a subsequent post on Twitter, the Bauchi police said a parent had been found.
“It is with utmost gratitude to GOD Almighty that Bauchi State Command have located the parent of (Mildred Joshua Ebuka) not her real name, her name is Jenifer Joshua Anga and presently she will be reunited with her family in good health condition. Thank you for your patriotism,” the Twitter post read.
