The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on Wednesday said it has found a 15-year-old wandering girl, Quadija Abimbola, and urged her parents to come for her.
The spokesperson of the Corps in Osun, Kehinde Adeleke, said the girl was found wandering at Owode-Ede at 1.00 am on January 19, 2025.
She said the girl was taken to a nearby NSCDC, Owode-Ede division, by a Good Samaritan.
“According to Quadija, she traveled 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.
“Despite efforts to locate Quadija’s parents or relatives, all attempts have been unsuccessful.
“NSCDC Osun State Command is appealing to anyone with information about Quadija’s family to come forward and assist in reuniting her with her loved ones,” Adeleke said.
