Master Ajayi said on the day he got missing, he went outside to play football with some little children around his neighbourhood, somewhere in Ladi Lak in Bariga Local Government Area, but could not retrace his way home thereafter.
“Some children were going to play ball so I followed them. But I don’t know anywhere. So when we finished and I wanted to go home to my mother’s house, I didn’t know the way,” he lamented.
Master Ajayi said his father is a driver and his mother a petty trader. He said he was in primary four in an Anglican school in Ekiti State; but that sometime in February this year, his mother brought him to Lagos and was to soon resume his schoolling.
Confused and distressed, he began crying until a Good Samaritan picked him up and took him to the Police.
Presenting the youngster, the Lagos State Police spokesperson, Frank Mba, said the Police have kept Master Ajayi in their custody for the past two weeks, since he was rescued. He asked members of the public to assist the Police in locating Master Ajayi’s parents.
“The Information Department of the Lagos State Police Command presented the boy, who has been in police custody for the past 14 days. We are appealing to Nigerians to help the police locate the parents of Sunday,” Mr. Mba said.
Mr. Mba also said Master Ajayi represents the one-too-many children who have got missing in the last few months. He implored parents and guardians to keep a close watch on their children and wards.
“It is becoming very alarming to discover that parents don’t keep proper watch over their children anymore. Everyone has a responsibility to be his brother’s keeper to ensure such a situation does not arise again,” Mr. Mba added.
