“When I couldn’t find my daughter, I was told that the new tenant had taken her and my neighbour’s daughter away. Fortunately, we know the motorcycle rider. He told us she transferred to another waiting bike at the Adeti area of Ilesa. We searched for them, but haven’t found them yet.”
The distressed mother, who spoke with PUNCH Metro on Wednesday, described the lady as between 17 and 20, fair-skinned, with a low haircut and fixed nails.
“She didn’t tell us her name,” she added.
When asked how the lady paid for the rent, Joseph explained, “A tenant in the house collected the money and informed the landlord. The landlord asked if she knew the woman, and the tenant said she did. The landlord then approved the rent without issuing a receipt.”
The case has been reported to the police and the Osun State Amotekun Corps.
The state corps Commander, Adekunle Omoyele, confirmed the incident, saying, “We are aware of the situation, and we are working hard to locate the woman. By God’s grace, we will find her and the children.”
