Disappearance of 29-year-old lady worries family, cries for help

A 29-year-old woman, Nkiru Osakweogo, has gone missing after attending a job interview in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

Her family is desperately seeking information about her whereabouts.

Osakweogo, a resident of 58 Kirikiri Road, Olodi Apapa, Lagos, left her home on January 25, 2025, for the interview.

However, she has not returned or been in contact with her family since then.

According to her sister, Obianuju Osakweogo, Nkiru’s phone has been switched off, and she has not been online. This is unusual for Nkiru, who has never been out of contact for this long.

Obianuju revealed that Nkiru had informed her other sister about the job interview but did not disclose the location. Later, Nkiru sent a message saying she got the job and would be staying in staff accommodation provided by the company.

Nkiru also mentioned that the network in the area was poor, which is why she had not been in touch. However, her family is worried about her safety and well-being.

The family has reported the matter to the police, but they were told that without an address, there was little they could do. The family is now seeking help from the public.

The disappearance of Nkiru Osakweogo is a stark reminder of the importance of sharing our whereabouts with loved ones. If only Nkiru had informed her family of the interview location, perhaps they would have been able to act sooner. Her story serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the need for all of us to let someone know where we are heading, no matter how routine or mundane the trip may seem.

Anyone with useful information about Nkiru’s whereabouts is urged to contact the family on 07038406112 or 07062396321.
