A 15-year-old female child, Quadija Abimbola, has been found wandering at Owode-Ede, Osun State.
According to a press release on Wednesday, 22nd January 2025, signed by the Civil Defence PRO Osun State Command, ASC Kehinde Adeleke, Quadija was discovered roaming the streets at 1:00 a.m. on January 19, 2025, and was taken to a nearby Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Owode-Ede division by a good Samaritan.
Quadija said she travelled with her mother, Mrs Aishat Abimbola, and three siblings from Lagos to Osun State for New Year’s celebrations. After the festivities, her mother took her to Owode-Ede market to sell detergent, promising to pick her up after the day’s sales; however, her mother failed to return.
