Reports indicated that Quadija had traveled with her mother, Mrs. Aishat Abimbola, and her three siblings from Lagos to Osun State to celebrate the new year. After the celebrations, her mother reportedly took her to the Owode-Ede market to sell detergent, promising to return later in the day. However, her mother failed to come back.

Efforts to locate Quadija’s parents or relatives have so far been unsuccessful.

The Osun State command of the NSCDC has appealed to the public for assistance in reuniting the girl with her family.

The Public Relations officer of the NSCDC, Kehinde Adeleke, stated that efforts were ongoing to locate the girl’s parents, whose whereabouts remain unknown.
