A 14-year-old girl, Boluwatife Adegoke, who was declared missing in Lagos with her case trending on Twitter was found on Monday.
Miss Adegoke was among the missing persons whose cases flooded Twitter after the murder of job-seeking, Ini Umoren as reported by SaharaReporters.
A Twitter user, identified as DARMIE (@TheOluwadarmie), revealed to SaharaReporters that Boluwatife was sent by her mother on Friday to withdraw money from the Automated Teller Machine of a bank nearby.
Umoren was later found dead and buried in a shallow grave.
She was said to have also been raped by her abductors.
Though the police have been blamed for insisting on waiting for 48 hours before Umoren could be declared missing after her friends and family had lodged complaints, they later claimed to have made some arrests in connection with her death.
However, the story has sensitised people to the need to share stories of their missing loved ones on social media, hoping that with swift action, their loved ones could still be found before it would be too late.
For instance, NG Missing People (@NGRmissingpeople) on Sunday tweeted pictures of a woman and child, adding, This woman is the grandma of the child, she has mental problem which is being treated. She left early morning with the baby without being seen and hasn t returned since yesterday. Last seen at UNITY ESTATE, COOPERATIVE VILLA, BADORE AJAH.
