Murjanatu Zubairu, a 400-level student of the University of Abuja, has gone missing on her way to campus, sparking concerns among her family and friends.
Her uncle, Alhaji Zubairu Jibrin Yewuti, a former vice chairman of Kwali Area Council of the FCT, reported her disappearance to Daily Trust via phone call on Sunday morning.
According to Alhaji Zubairu, Murjanatu, a student of the Faculty of Education specializing in Arts Education, left her home in Piwoyi on Friday morning for school.
However, she has not been heard from since, as her phone has been switched off.
“It was her parents who called me to find out if Murjanatu came to my place, as efforts to reach her on the phone remained futile since she left home at Piwoyi on her way to school. I told them she didn’t come to my house. I also tried to reach her phone too but it was switched off,” he explained.
Zubairu mentioned that the family has already alerted both the university authorities and security agencies about Murjanatu’s disappearance.
He urged the public to notify the university or the nearest police station if they have any information about her whereabouts.
In response to inquiries, SP Adeh Josephine, the spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, replied to a text message saying, “I will find and then get back to you later.”
