The Kwara Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on Monday in Ilorin said it has recovered a 19-year-old student, Fauziya Muhammed who was dumped by suspected ritualists.
The Kwara NSCDC Commandant, Umar Mohammed, told newsmen on that the student of Kogi State University in Ayingba was found wandering before she was handed over to the Corps’ personnel.
Mohammed said members of the Ajegunle Isale community, along Egbejila Road in Ilorin, had handed over Fauziya to the command’s Intelligence Department.
“The girl was found wandering before she was brought to us. During interrogation, she said she did not know how she got to Ilorin.
“She remembered being a 400-Level student of Kogi State University in Ayingba and was going home from school when her book fell down.
“She said she bent down to pick her book from the floor and found herself in Ilorin,” the Commandant said.
He said the girl’s family had been contacted and an uncle, Malam Salihu Aliu, would soon be in Ilorin to take her back home.
The NSCDC official, however, said the victim had psychological trauma and needed to be mentally stabilised at the command’s clinic before going back home.
The Commandant thanked the Kwara Governor, Malam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his kind gesture in financing the hospital bills and making available transportation for the girl to return home.
