The report gathered by Punch Metro has it that Lebi had planned to punish her daughter, including changing her environment when she did not return home.
The case which was reported to the police at the Ilasan Police station mentioned that the primary six pupil was the mother’s first child and the mother is a cleaner in a public school who reportedly separated from her father when she was a toddler.
Lebi, who had had three other children with her new partner, reportedlly told a Punch correspondent that Abayomi went missing around 1 pm on Sunday.
She says: “She was living with my mother in the Lekki Beach area. I stay around Itedo, which is just a stone’s throw from my mother’s place. Although she had been staying with my mother since she was five years old, I have been responsible for her upkeep. She never knew her father because he left us when she was an infant.
“I got a report of her misbehaviour and told her to bring her luggage to my house. I scolded her and told her that I would take her far away from this vicinity after her common entrance.
“She went to my mum’s house on Sunday to pick her luggage. As she was coming back, a tricycle rider I knew told me he picked her and dropped her off at Elf bus stop around 1 pm. He said he saw her board a vehicle to Ajah. She was supposed to alight at Ikate Roundabout, but she didn’t return home.”
The Ibadan, Oyo State indigene said she became alarmed when her mother called to know if Abayomi had got home, hours after she left her (grandma’s) house.
She said she enquired from Abayomi’s friends and other relatives and they said they didn’t know her whereabouts.
“Later, someone told me that a man came to her school to look for her on Wednesday when the school vacated. I was told that after the discussion, the man gave her a telephone number. Nobody knew who the man was and from the description, I don’t know the man myself.
“She was getting wayward and involving herself in immoral relationships when I became angry and decided to change her environment. But I didn’t expect her to disappear from home. She has never done this before and all my relatives said they have not seen her,” she added.
