A four-year-old girl, Babatunde Pamilerin, has mysteriously gone missing in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Pamilerin, who lives with her mother at No. 3, Agboola Street, Lambo Lasunwo Road, LASPOTECH First Gate, in Ikorodu, was last seen on Sunday, February 16, 2020.
According to her mother, Fatima Adedokun, Pamilerin left home around 3:00p.m. to go and make her hair at a saloon not too from their home.
She was, however, declared missing hours after her mother, who was concerned that she had not returned, visited the saloon to know why she was not home.

She was told by the hair stylist that her daughter did not come to the saloon, a news which immediately sent shivers down Adedokun’s spine.
A quick search for Pamilerin was embarked on by her mother, the hair stylist and concerned neighbours, who combed the nooks and cranny of the community without finding her.
The physically-challenged Adedokun, who is in pain over the uncertainty of her child’s whereabouts, said she had reported the case to the Sagamu Road Police Station, in Ikorodu, the Ogijo Police Station, as well as informed a community radio station based in Ikorodu.
“It wasn’t my wish for her to be going there alone, but I had no choice because of my condition. I’m physically challenged and I wanted her to start doing some little things by herself so she can be able to assist me.
“I introduced her to the saloon because it is very close to our house. She has since been going there before that day.
“On the day she went missing, she left home around 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 16, 2020, and we are yet to see her since then,” she narrated in tears.
In her plea to whoever was with her daughter, Adedokun begged that her daughter be returned to her, while also calling on anyone with useful information to contact her via – 08036137590 or 07033018519.
