The Ogun State Government has taken Mistura Adebayo, a young girl reportedly found wandering on two occasions, into protective custody and commenced medical investigations to assess her health and determine appropriate care.


The Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development disclosed that the intervention followed a report made by Adetoun Adejobi to the former Commissioner, Hon. Adijat Adeleye, who immediately contacted the Permanent Secretary, Mrs Adebimpe Folusho Obienu, for necessary action.

The Ministry confirmed that medical investigations are ongoing and assured the public of its commitment to safeguarding Mistura’s welfare and ensuring a sustainable care arrangement in her best interests.
