A 28-year-old nurse, whose family had filed a missing person report with the police in Lagos, has been found in the Ipetumodu-Okoku area of Osun State.

WuzupNigeria reports that the nurse, one Ayomide Alao, was found relaxing in a hotel in the area. While in the hotel, it was learnt that Alao allegedly refused to respond to calls and messages requesting to know her whereabouts.

It was gathered that Alao left her house in the Bariga area of Lagos for her workplace in Lagos on June 14 but did not return home. Her family became worried when calls put to her phone rang out and conducted a futile search for her.

Ayomide’s brother, Olabunmi, was said to have reported a case of a missing person to the Bariga Police Division, where an investigation into her disappearance commenced.

During the investigation, detectives traced her to Osun State, where she was found in a hotel.

When asked what she was doing in the hotel, a source revealed to our correspondent that Ayomide said she did not know how she got there.

“She didn’t give a concrete reason as to why she left home; she just said she went out and all of a sudden found herself there without any explanation as to how she got to the hotel. She also refused to pick her calls while in the hotel,” the source said.

It was further gathered that the managers of the two hotels, where she lodged during the period, said she was not accompanied by anybody when she visited their facilities.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said Ayomide went missing for 14 days, adding that the case had been transferred to the Area H command for further investigation.

He said,

“A case of missing person was reported at the charge room on June 16, 2020, around 10.40am by one Olabunmi Alao, of No 3, Amudat Abeke Street, Ajenipa, Ladi-Lak, Bariga, Lagos State, that his sister, Ayomide Alao, 28, of same address, dark in complexion about 5ft-4inch in height, who speaks English and Yoruba language, left home on June 14, 2020, around 8.30pm and did not return home.

“All efforts to trace her by the family proved abortive. During investigation, the missing nurse was located by detectives on July 3, 2020, at the Jolade Hotel in Ipetumodu-Okoko in Osun State.

“The managers of the Anis Hotel and the Jolade Hotel, where she stayed for 14 days while at Ipetumodu-Okoko town in Osun State, were also brought in with a view to establishing their level of culpability or otherwise. The case was transferred to the Area H Command Headquarters for further investigation.”
