A student reported to have gone missing on her way to write
the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has been found.
On Friday, news surfaced that a female UTME candidate went
missing during her commute from the Epe area of Lagos to Ajah.
One Johnson, a Twitter user who identified as a relative of
the UTME candidate, had said the girl had sent a panicky message disclosing she
had boarded “the wrong car”.
The missing UTME candidate was identified as Esther
Oluwafayofubmi Oladele.
She was said to have been commuting on Thursday ahead of her
exam scheduled for 9 am on Friday.
Johnson said Esther had texted one of her siblings, saying,
“I’m scared. I think I entered the wrong car. My eyes are itchy and I feel
sleepy.”
Calling on netizens for help in spreading the word, he said
the matter was reported at Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah.
“They said they will start an investigation, which includes
sharing the information with other stations and also airing it,” he said.
“They told us not to rely solely on them, we’re asked to
continue looking everywhere else for her.”
TheCable had contacted both JAMB and police sources in
Lagos, but none had responded to enquiries as of this report.
In a follow-up post on Saturday, Johnson disclosed that the
missing girl has returned home.
Details on what transpired has yet to be disclosed.
