The family of a teenager, Imole Ilesanmi, has raised the alarm over her whereabouts after she reportedly went missing in the Agbado area of Ogun State.
Imole was said to have left her family home around 3pm on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and had not returned eight days later. Her father said she was at home when he asked her to prepare food for him. The family later learnt that she intended to visit a cleric in the Popóshóla area after cooking.
According to her father, the family tried calling her phone, which continued ringing until Monday morning, but nobody answered. Friends and other people contacted by the family also said Imole had mentioned that she was heading towards the area.
The disappearance was reported at the Agbado Police Station. The cleric, identified simply as Alfa, was initially arrested but later released. He denied seeing Imole on the day she disappeared and said she had told people she was going to Popóshóla rather than his residence.
Imole’s sister, Ayomide Ilesanmi, said the family had received different reports about the teenager since they began sharing her photographs and information. She said some of the reports were later found to be false.
The family has visited churches and a mosque to pray for Imole’s safe return, while efforts to establish her whereabouts continue.
The family is appealing to anyone with information about Imole’s whereabouts to contact the police or reach out to her relatives to help ensure her safe return.
