The search for Oladipupo Siwajuola, a student of Babcock University, Ilisan-Remo, Ogun State, came to a positive end on Sunday, as his mother, Fijabi Oyindamola, announced that her son has been found.
Taking to Facebook under the username Fijabi Oyindamola Omotayo, she shared the good news in a brief but heartfelt post: “My son has been found,” accompanied by celebratory dance emojis.
Babcock University has confirmed the development.
Speaking to newsmen on Sunday, the institution’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Joshua Suleiman, verified the Facebook post’s authenticity.
In a message sent via WhatsApp, he stated, “Yes, we are aware.”
At the time of this report, the circumstances surrounding Oladipupo’s disappearance and how he was found remain unclear.
His return comes days after a widely shared video showed Omotayo in deep distress, tearfully appealing to the university and the public for help in locating her son.
In an earlier post, she pleaded:
“Babcock University, please provide information about my son!
Babcock University Ilisan, 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?”
She further expressed her anguish over the lack of updates, adding:
“It has been over 72 hours since I last spoke to my son. I personally dropped him off at school on Monday, 27 April, as I always do, and I have been unable to locate him since then.
Please provide information about my son’s whereabouts. My family and I should not suffer due to your lack of accountability. My son is not a piece of furniture,” Omotayo cried out.
