A 15-year-old female child, Quadija Abimbola, has been found wandering at Owode-Ede, Osun State.
Quadija was discovered while roaming the streets at 1:00 a.m. on January 19, 2025, and was reportedly taken to a nearby Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Owode-Ede division by a good Samaritan.
According to reports, the victim traveled with her mother, Mrs. Aishat Abimbola, and three siblings from Lagos to Osun State for New Year’s celebrations.
It was learnt 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.
However, her mother failed to return.
All efforts to locate Quadija’s parents or relatives 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.
The public Relations Officer of NSCDC, Kehinde Adeleke said efforts are on to locate the victims parents whose whereabouts are unknown.
