The parents of Bilikisu Oseni, a 14-year-old secondary school girl, living in Odongunyan area of Ikorodu, Lagos state has declared her missing after she left her house on Sunday, June 24, 2018 and hasn't return since then.

Oseni reportedly followed her boyfriend, a motorboy identified as Wahis, to his apartment in Igbosoro road and hasn't been seen since then.

Punch reports that the victim’s mother, Fausatu Oseni, said she had travelled to Ogun state for a family function when her daughter followed the suspect.

She said: “Last Friday, I travelled to Ago Iwoye, Ogun state, for a family function. On Sunday, a customer called me that she wanted to grind pepper and buy some other things at my shop in Odogunyan.

“I told my younger sister, who was watching over my children, to call Bilikisu to open the shop and sell the goods to the customer. About 30 minutes after the customer left, I called my sister again on the telephone and asked if my daughter had closed the shop, but she said no. I asked to speak with her on the telephone and ordered her to close the shop and go to church.

“When I called back later, she told me she was still packing the goods. I felt uneasy where I was and told my host that I needed to leave immediately to look after my children.

She said she arrived home that evening and was surprised that her daughter was not at home.

She said: “My sister said she (Bilikisu) went out with Wahis on a motorcycle. I was alarmed when it was getting dark and she did not return home.

“I raised a search party and we went round the area without seeing my daughter. After the fruitless search, we were advised to report to the police at the Orofo police station, which we did on Monday.

"We got the telephone number of Wahis from one of his friends and when we called him, he denied knowing Bilikisu’s whereabouts. I do not know his relationship with my daughter.

“My telephone battery was low and I went to charge it in a shop when I ran into him. I asked him to produce my daughter, but he fled the shop with the assistance of his friends."

Wahis was eventually arrested but the police were reported to have granted bail to him after his relatives promised that he would produce Bilikisu within seven days.

Wahis has however denied knowing Oseni's whereabouts and that he believed that she was in another lover’s house.

Wahis said: “On Sunday, I went to pick her from the shop on a motorcycle. I took her to know my new apartment on Igbosoro Road.

“As she got to my place, I got a call that her mother had started complaining and was looking for her. I put her on a motorcycle to return to her mother; I never knew she did not get home. If I had known this would happen, I would have asked her to wait a little at my place or take her to their house myself.

“Some people said they sighted her at Agodo around 1pm. One of her friends, Gloria, told me that she made mention of a boyfriend who stayed alone in the Odogunyan area. I believe she is afraid that her mother will beat her up and she went to stay with the boyfriend. She must be around Odogunyan.

“We started dating in January 2018. The police have given me till Wednesday to produce her and I don’t know where else to go. My mother has cried endlessly over this. I have suffered seriously, including police torture. I have spent a lot of money to look for her. I can’t eat or sleep.”
