LASU STUDENT GOES MISSING AFTER LAGOS DELIVERY: FEARS RISE OVER POSSIBLE SET-UP
Ayobami, a student of the English Education Department, Module 2, is also an entrepreneur known for selling perfumes and fragrances to support herself while in school. According to reports from friends, she received a call from an individual allegedly based in Abuja, who requested a delivery of fragrance products. The caller instructed her to hand over the items to a middleman in Lagos, who would then facilitate the onward delivery to Abuja.
The agreed meeting point was initially Oshodi, Lagos. However, shortly before the rendezvous, the recipient reportedly called to redirect her to Cele, another location within Lagos. Upon arrival at Cele, Ayobami attempted to contact a friend to share her whereabouts, but the call was disrupted by poor network quality. When her friend tried to call back, her phone had already been switched off — and it has remained unreachable since.
Worried by her sudden silence, friends reached out to the initial Abuja-based buyer, who responded cooperatively and provided the contact information of the Lagos recipient. However, the situation took a suspicious turn when the recipient claimed that Ayobami was allegedly being tracked for involvement in a Point of Sale (POS) fraud case, possibly linked to a fraudulent transfer conducted via a POS machine — though her exact involvement remains unclear.
