The woman approached Sekina about two weeks prior, expressing an interest in learning how to make snacks.
She said:
“She is a Christian and came to me about two weeks ago that she wanted to learn how to make snacks. I accepted her but I don’t know any of her family members or where she stays and don’t even have her phone number.
“We went to the graduation together and she offered to help me carry the baby when I accompanied the elder brother who was graduating to collect his certificate.
“That was the last we saw of her. We have reported the case at ‘B’ Division Police station in Surulere, Ilọrin but have yet to hear from them,” the mother added.
The state’s police spokesman, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, verified the incident and stated that the case was reported at one of the police stations.
