Oladipupo Siwajuola, a student of Babcock University reportedly missing for the past three days, has been found.
The Eagle Online reports that Fijabi Omotayo, mother of the missing Babcock University student, had called on the Ogun State government and the institution to help locate her son whose whereabouts was unknown.
Mrs Fijabi made this call amid tears during a Facebook live session on Saturday, stating that she was unable to locate her son, Siwajuola, for more than three days after dropping him off at the private institution located in Ilishan-Remo in Ogun State last Sunday.
She said, “Members of the public should please help tell Babcock University to produce my son. I dropped him off at the school myself on Sunday evening, but for the past three days, I have not been able to sleep as I cannot find my son.
“I was even at the school yesterday and they said that’s how students behave sometimes, that they might be within the school premises but hiding themselves… Babcock University should please help find my son.”
In an earlier post, the distraught mother stated: “Babcock University, Ilishan, could you please inform me about the whereabouts of my son, Oladipupo Siwajuola? Can you explain why Lampard and Tobi, who were the last to see him, are being shielded? It has been over 72 hours since I last spoke to my son.
“I personally dropped him off at school on Monday, April 27, as I always do, and I have been unable to locate him since then.

In the same vein, the Director of Marketing and Communications at the university, Dr Joshua Suleiman, on Saturday, confirmed that the school’s security department had commenced an investigation into the worrying development.
