The Ogun State Police Command has alerted the public over an unprecedented increase in reports of missing individuals across all age groups in the state.
In a statement in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Ms Omolola Odutola, regretted that only a small fraction of the missing individuals were located, while a significant number did not return home.
She explained that the command, as part of efforts to tackle the trend, had begun a public awareness of the need for people to prioritize their safety by maintaining a heightened sense of security.
The Ogun Police spokesperson noted that the Commissioner of Police, based on insights from rescued individuals, had appealed to parents to refrain from using commercial transportation services with unknown strangers for their children.
He also encouraged youths to activate digital communication and sharing features on their mobile devices while travelling, especially during moments of distress.
The Command urged the public to contact its control room on 091-648-592-99, and its Public Relations Department on 091-595-788-88 Or its social media platforms as follows:
