Mrs Opral Benson Declared Missing By Family… But She’s In Liberia

By Adesina Soyooye

The family of Mrs Opral Benson, the Iya Oge of Lagos, recently declared her missing.

A release titled Urgent Community Alert said the whereabouts of Opral Benson, the matriarch of the TOS Benson family, Ikorodu, Lagos, have been unknown since Tuesday, January 13, 2026. “The family reports that Mama Opral Benson has been missing since Tuesday, January 13, 2026. She has NOT RETURNED HOME and her current whereabouts are UNKNOWN.

“Anyone who has SEEN HER, or has ANY INFORMATION, no matter how small, is urged to CONTACT IMMEDIATELY:

0803 703 9214.

Alternatively, please report to the nearest police station.

“THIS IS TIME SENSITIVE.

PLEASE SHARE IMMEDIATELY”

However, while questions, such as – Did she go out alone? If not, who went out with her? Where is her care giver? – were being asked, another report said Mama Opral Benson is in Liberia, her home country; that she arrived Liberia on Wednesday.

But her presence in Liberia has, also, raised more questions. Did she go to Liberia without informing any family members? Who drove her to the airport? Who accompanied her?

And, if the family knew, why was she declared missing?
