The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osun State Command said the command found a 15-year-old female child, Quadija Abimbola, wandering at Owode-Ede, Osun.
According to a statement by the Civil Defence Public Relations Officer Osun State Command, ASC Kehinde Adeleke, on Wednesday in Osogbo, Quadija was discovered roaming the streets at 1:00 a.m. on January 19.
She was taken to the nearby NSCDC office at Owode-Ede division by a good Samaritan.
Adeleke quoted Quadija as saying she travelled with her mother, Aishat Abimbola, and three siblings from Lagos to Osun for New Year’s celebrations.
He said that after the festivities, her mother took her to Owode-Ede market to sell detergent, promising to pick her up after the day’s sales, but failed to return.
According to the statement, efforts to locate Quadija’s parents or relatives have been unsuccessful.
The NSCDC Osun State Command appealed to anyone with information about Quadija’s family to come forward and assist in reuniting her with her loved ones.
