The family of 19-year-old Ebube Orjike, who has been missing since Thursday, December 12, 2024, is appealing to the public for assistance in locating her.

 

PUNCH Metro learnt from the Ogun State Police Command on Sunday that the teenager reportedly left her home on Mubarak Street last Thursday and headed to her workplace on Onwe Street in Akute.

 

Happiness, the 19-year-old teenager’s aunt, told the police at the Ajuwon division that Ebube allegedly deceived her boss, claiming she had been sent to Berger by one of her sisters.

 

PUNCH Metro gathered that numerous attempts to reach the girl by phone in order to determine her whereabouts were unsuccessful, prompting the family to seek the public’s assistance in locating her.

 

The spokesperson for the command, Omolola Odutola, said, “The missing girl is described as having a fair complexion. She is 19 years old and speaks both English and Igbo fluently.

 

“She told her boss that she was heading to Berger on her sister’s request. However, her niece, who has been searching for her, disputed this claim.

 

“Since she left for Ojodu-Berger, she has not been seen, and her mobile phone is no longer reachable. All attempts to locate her have been unsuccessful.”

 

Odutola urged the public to visit the nearest police station with any information that could assist in locating Ebube’s whereabouts.
