The family of 79-year-old Olufunke Ilesanmi is appealing for help after she went missing in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, leaving relatives deeply worried about her safety.
Mrs Ilesanmi was reportedly last seen shortly after 5pm on Monday in the Abaya Medi area of Odo Poly Road.
According to her family, she had left home to buy an item but never returned.
As hours passed without any word from her, relatives began searching for her and attempting to trace her movements. Their efforts, however, have so far yielded no information about her whereabouts.
At the time she was last seen, the elderly woman was wearing a cream-coloured round-neck top and a wrapper.
The family has appealed to residents of Ado-Ekiti and surrounding communities to remain alert and report any information that could help establish where she may have gone.
A cash reward is also being offered for credible information that directly leads to her location and safe return.
Anyone who may have seen Mrs Ilesanmi or knows anything about her whereabouts has been urged to contact the nearest police station.
Her family can also be reached at R56 Iyedi Street, Ido-Ekiti, or 22 Dongo Avenue, Ilawe Road.
As of the time of the report, attempts to obtain a response from the Ekiti State Police Command had not been successful.
The family’s appeal comes with an urgent plea for the public to help bring the 79-year-old woman home safely.
