Concern is growing over the whereabouts of a young girl from Owerri who has been missing since yesterday, Sunday, after traveling to Osun State for a job interview.

The girl, whose name has not been disclosed, informed her family that she was heading to Osun State to attend a job interview scheduled for Monday morning. She left Owerri on Sunday and was expected to arrive in Osun State later that day.

However, since her departure, her family has been unable to reach her. According to the girl’s parents, they last spoke with her on Sunday evening when she confirmed she had arrived safely. But since then, repeated attempts to contact her have been unsuccessful, as her phone has been switched off.

The family has expressed deep concern for her safety and is urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward. They have also reported the incident to the local authorities, who are currently investigating the matter.

“We are very worried,” said the girl’s father. “She promised to call us once she settled in, but we haven’t heard from her since Sunday night. Her phone has been switched off, and we don’t know what to do.”

The girl’s family is pleading with the public for assistance and is hopeful that she will be found safe and sound. They are urging anyone who might have seen her or has any information that could lead to her whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or reach out to the family directly.

Local authorities are asking the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity that might help in locating the missing girl. The police have also assured the family that they are doing everything in their power to track her down and bring her home safely.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of staying in constant communication when traveling, especially when going to unfamiliar places. The community is urged to keep the girl’s family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
