A young house help identified as Amaka caused her guardians to panic when she left their Lagos home in Okota on Saturday and did not return.

Oge had written;
“AMAKA IS MISSING!!This is Amaka, The girl living with my sis,she left the house since yesterday afternoon on her own,and hasn’t been seen till now, please and please, guys,help me rebroadcast,Amaka doesn’t have any other relation in Lagos,we have searched the whole Area to no avail,we stay in Okota,and our Shop in in Bucknor,Please help me broadcast!!!!!
But all is well now as the young girl was finally brought home on Sunday evening by a good Samaritan who saw her around her area and recognized her as the missing girl from the photos circulating online.
The girl couldn’t give any reasonable explanation as to where she had been and her guardians have decided to send her back home to her family in the village.
Promise, updated her social media writing;
“AMAKA HAS BEEN FOUND!!!
Amaka went from Ago to Bucknor, and spent the night with who she has refused to disclose,
the woman that brought her back said she saw her this sunday evening around her area in Jakande estate
and recognized her,

Many online users have questioned the appropriateness of employing a 13-year old girl in the first place and agree it probably is a good idea that the girl is returned to her family.
