We saw her roaming around and her outlook resembled somebody that was frightened.
Our curiosity was aroused by the fact that she was moving around at a time pupils of her age are in their various schools.
She said her name was Tawa and her father’s name was Taiwo and that she was kidnapped from Ilorin and later abandoned at Ayede-Ekiti from where she trekked to Oye-Ekiti.
