The Police Command in Bauchi State says it has located the parents of a 17- year old girl, Jenifer Joshua Anga who was found in Bauchi State after she went missing in Lagos.

Anga, who resided in Block 19 Ubandale Street, Victoria Island before she went missing, was said to have left her home on Thursday (August 25) on her way to delivering a wig cap to her aunt’s friend in Ikorodu.

The command had earlier alerted the public to help locate the parents of Anga.

A statement by the Command made available to newsmen had read: “MISSING PERSON: The bearer Mildred Joshua Ebuka female aged 17yrs-old of Block 19 Ubandale Street Victoria Island Lagos State, whose photograph appeared below, left home on Thursday 25/08/2022 to deliver a message of a wig cap to her aunty’s friend in Ikorodu.

“On the way, she stopped a taxi bus not far from her home. From there on, she found herself in Bauchi. She hails from Lagos and speaks the English Language fluently, wore the light blue blouse shirt and trousers, fair in complexion and she has no tribal mark.

“Members of the general public who know about her parents are urged to report at the nearest Police Station or contact the following numbers: 08034844393, or 08023684497, please.”

However, the Spokesman of the Police Command, SP Ahmed Wakil, later disclosed that the girl’s parents had been identified.

In a message sent to our reporter on WhatsApp, the police spokesman said: ”It is with utmost gratitude to GOD Almighty that Bauchi State Command has located the parent of (Mildred Joshua Ebuka) not her real name.

“Her name is Jenifer Joshua Anga, and presently, she will be reunited with her family in good health condition.

“Thank you for your patriotism.”

But details are sketchy as to how Anga’s parents were located.

Wakil only told our reporter that the parents were yet to indicate when they would come for their daughter.
