A devastated family has declared its daughter missing after she departed Owerri to visit her boyfriend in Edo State.
The missing Lady, Gift Chizoba Ajuruchi is a final year student of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, Imo State.
According to a release by the family signed by Uche Smart Akandu, a staff of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, her sister left Owerri on Monday, 8th January, 2024, to visit her boyfriend at Upper Owina Street, Egor, Edo State. Shockingly, he said, nothing has been heard from her since the visit to the unnamed boyfriend.
However, when her mobile number was called, her supposed boyfriend took the call, and said he was not going to release her. The address of her boyfriend’s residence was established when her mobile number was tracked. But when the Police arrived at the address, there was no trace of both of them.
The family is desperately looking for any information to establish her whereabouts. The statement by the family did not indicate if they know who the boyfriend is, or aware of her trip to Edo State.
The statement by the family reads:
“I want to make this message to go to all platforms especially Edo State to help pass this message round.
