She went on to add that efforts made by her relatives to trace her whereabouts proved abortive.
According to her, Rejoice, who is 13 years old, is dark in complexion with no tribal marks and could speak English language fluently.

In another report, Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser (NSA) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, met with Governors from the five South-East states in Abuja on Monday.
While journalists were not informed of the agenda of the closed-door session, it is possible that it is related to the escalating security issues in Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo, and Ebonyi states.
The Eastern Updates recalls that last Wednesday, the Senate condemned the Monday sit-at-home in the South East geopolitical zone and asked the Federal Government to collaborate with the Finnish Government and extradite a pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, for prosecution.
The upper chamber resolved to invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs (when appointed) and relevant stakeholders to carry out a thorough investigation as well as bring other sponsors of the act to book.
