Missing 17-year-old girl found in Bauchi

Mildred Ebuka, a 17-year-old girl who went missing on Thursday while conducting errands in Lagos, has been discovered by police in Bauchi State.

According to reports, Ebuka left her Victoria Island home on Thursday to bring a wig hat to her aunt's acquaintance in the Ikorodu neighbourhood of Lagos.

The public was notified by the Bauchi Police Command on Friday to look for the girl it was holding.

In a statement via its Twitter platform, the police command said, “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 the English Language fluently. Wore light blue blouse shirt and trouser, fair in complexion and she has no tribal mark.”

Mildred was discovered at a park in Bauchi, according to SP Ahmed Wakil, the State Police Public Relations Officer, who spoke to The PUNCH on Friday.

The main goal of providing the material, according to Wakil, is to locate her parent. As soon as she arrived in Bauchi, she was unable to recall anything. She was awakened in the park by a woman who had no idea where she was. They phoned the police as a result, and our PR department alerted me to the situation. That's why I made it widely known.

The street does not exist, as our reporter learned after checking the address.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, verified the street didn't exist when he was approached.

He said, “We hope her relatives would reach out when they see her picture.”
