Controversy has trailed the whereabouts of a 24-year-old woman
Gbemisola Alabi said to have disappeared during her routine road
walk on Sunday in Ajah.
Alabi, her family said was kidnapped while jogging around
Monastery Road, near Novare Mall in Shongotedo, Ajah but the police
said they were investigating a case of missing person since nothing
points to kidnapping at the moment.
According to a syndicated WhatsApp message on Monday appealing
to Nigerians to assist with useful information on her whereabouts,
the family had also appealed for prayers.
The message read: “Dear friends and Nigerians, the above photo
is of our beloved daughter, sister, wife and mother – Gbemisola
Alabi. She was kidnapped around Monastery road near Novare mall –
Shoprite Shongotedo Ajah yesterday (28th July, 2019) while she went
jogging.
“We need your help to find her. Please help share her photo on
all your social media handles, put a call through to people you
feel can help us. Call the Ajah police command if you have any
information or call Mr. Adebayo 0802 999 8831 representing the
family. Anything you can do please. We also need your prayers that
she returns home to her family soon and in good health.”
Efforts by our Correspondent to get Mr. Adebayo for further
details failed at the time of this report.
However, a source disclosed that the family was Alabi’s landlady
and son of being responsible for her kidnap because of some issues
between them.
It was alleged that the unnamed landlady and her son had
threatened to deal with Alabi following a disagreement that ensued
between them.
But the police said it would be wrong to conclude it was a case
of kidnapping, insisting the case currently before them was that of
a missing person.
Spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP)
said the report at the station indicated disappearance, adding that
from preliminary findings, the woman went jogging without her
phone, and no one had contacted the family to demand ransom.
He said: “It will be wrong to say she was kidnapped. At the
moment, no one has come forward to say they have her in their
custody not made demands to that effect. She left the house to jog
which is her normal routine but this time around, she didn’t come
back.
“No one knows for sure ehat happened to her. It is true the
family said they were suspecting the landlady and her son and we
have invited them. Investigation is ongoing to unravel what
happened to her and where she is.”
