He said, “On 15/3/2022, that is about three years later, the victim’s mother received credible information about her daughter’s whereabouts.
“She then alerted the Juvenile Welfare Centre (JWC) of the State CID who then swung into action and traced the missing girl to the house of one Mrs Ademiloye Felicia.
