The abduction of a five-year-old girl,
Oluwaseun Ogungbemile, at the Redemption
Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, has thrown her parents into panic.
It was learnt that the girl, in company with her
parents, had gone to the camp at Kilometre 46
on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State,
to attend the one-week annual convention of
the church that ended on Sunday.
The girl, who is the youngest child of her
parents, was last seen playing with two of her
cousins on Friday, August 9, 2013.
The victim's aunt, Omotade Odunowo, said
that the matter had been reported to the
police.
She said, "She (Oluwaseun) was staying at a
rented chalet in the camp along with her
parents. Around 10am on that day, she was
seen with two of her younger cousins, who are
between the ages of two and three.
"After sometime, we did not see her again. Due
to the young ages of the little children who
were with her at the time of her
disappearance, we have not been able to know
what happened exactly."
Odunowo said all efforts to trace the victim's
whereabouts proved abortive and the family
believed that she had been abducted.
She said the family had searched every nook
and cranny of the camp and reported to the
relevant authorities in RCCG, all to no avail.
She added that no one had called the family to
demand a ransom.
Odunowo said, "We have been traumatised
since then and cannot wait for the safe return
of our daughter back home. We shall therefore
be extremely grateful to receive any
information that may lead to our reunion with
Oluwaseun. She is adorable, smart and talks a
lot."
She said the girl's parents had not been
alright since the incident. She said the mother
had refused to go back to work since her
daughter went missing.
She said, "Oluwaseun's mother has not left the
Redemption Camp since the incident occurred.
She is still hoping that the person that took
her away would bring her back."
When contacted on the telephone, the state
police command's Public Relations Officer,
Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident to our
correspondent, adding that the matter was
being investigated at the Redemption Camp
Police Station.
"The parents of the victim said they came to
the camp with eight children and one of them
had gone missing. We have swung into action
and we want to assure the family that the little
girl will be found," he said.
A security official at the church, who refused
to identify himself, said the matter had been
reported to the police.
He however refused to disclose further
information, adding that it was not the wish of
the church that the news of the abduction be
leaked to members of the public.
