A 13-year-old girl who went missing in Kaduna two weeks ago but was found in Borno has been reunited with her family.
The girl was discovered wandering at the Borno Express Corporation terminus in Maiduguri and was turned over to police.
According to ASP Sani Kamilu, spokesman for the Borno Police Command, the police conducted a discreet investigation to find the girl’s family.
Kamilu stated on Thursday in Maiduguri, while handing over the girl to her father, that she was brought to the police station by the terminus’s Chief Security Officer, Ahmadu Buba.
“She has been under the care of the DPO of Metro Police Station, CSP Hadiza Musa Sani where the case was first reported about two weeks ago.
“After an indepth investigation, we found the whereabout of her parents in Kaduna who are now here to officially receive her.”
The father, Ado Usman, said the girl who has a “spiritual problem”, has gone missing several times in the past.
“This is not her first time, there was a time she rode a bicycle and was found near Kano.
“She used to wake up frightened in the night saying someone is calling her to follow him somewhere; we are doing our best and will continue to pray for her, ” Usman said.
He commended the police and all those who helped in finding and ensuring the safety of the girl.
The girl was incoherent when asked to explain how she travelled from Kaduna to Maiduguri.
