Two suspects have been reportedly arrested by operatives of Edo State Police command in connection with the missing of one Miss Faith Omodon, a 200-level undergraduate of University of Delta, Agbor.
On March 30, 2024, the residents of Iru Egbede community in Orhionmwon local government area of Edo, reported the sudden disappearance of their daughter, Faith Omodon, who is studying Business Administration in the above-mentioned university.
According to the father of the missing girl, Mr. Edward Omodon, was last seen on March 30, after leaving home for farm and never returned.
He said the incident occured when the community was holding their national conference.
“We usually have Iru national conference at this time of the year. We were seated inside the community hall when we heard loud wailing outside that my daughter was missing.
“She had left for the farm earlier that morning with a motorbike taking her breakfast flask with her,” he said.
Corroborating Mr Omodon’s story, Mr Ikpoba Johnbull, head of the village vigilance group said “soon after the news of her disappearance broke that evening, we followed the girl’s mother to the farm.
“We immediately mobilised and combed the area up to Izighiri and Uwumuwe, two neighbouring villages, but could not find any trace of her.
“We only found the leftover of her lunch flask. We informed our neighbouring vigilance groups as we spent that night inside the bushes but there was no result.”
The matter was reported at the Abudu Police Division which was confirmed by Divisional Police Officer, Mr Iyayi Kenneth, who said “We have transferred the case to the state police command for further investigation.”
