The Lagos State Police Command has addressed a viral claim that six girls went missing after attending a party in the Lekki area. According to the police, no formal complaint has been filed regarding the incident, but an investigation is already underway.

The allegation surfaced after a young woman posted a video online. In the one-minute clip, she claimed that seven women were invited to a party in Lekki, but six of them went missing. She further explained that one of the women managed to escape after returning to their apartment to retrieve a forgotten wig. By the time the woman returned, the car that had brought them to the party had already left, leaving her behind.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Oluyemisi Ojo, who oversees Area J Command (Elemoro), which covers Lekki and its environs, confirmed that no official report of the incident had been made to the police. Despite this, the command has taken the matter seriously and begun investigations.

The lady warned,

“Six girls in Lekki have gone missing. They were invited to a private house party, and no one has heard from them. Their lines no longer go through, and their friends can’t reach them. Only one person survived because she went back to get her hair. When she returned, they were gone. They (the ladies) were supposed to be seven for the house party, but they took six. The six girls are missing.

“Beware of people. Stop meeting new people on the island or in Lekki. They’ll use you for rituals. Many are returning to Nigeria to perform rituals, and they’ll use you. Be very careful,”

The police also revealed that they attempted to contact the social media user who shared the information to provide details that could aid their investigation. Unfortunately, these efforts have not been successful so far.

As the investigation progresses, the Lagos State Police Command has urged residents to report such incidents directly to the authorities to ensure swift action.
