Two SS1 students of New Era Girls Secondary School, Surelere, Lagos, Janet Abiodun (18) and Evelyn Apalowe (17) have gone missing after failing their promotional exam to SS2, New Telegraph reports.

Family members are speculating that the two friends must have gone into hiding after finding out that they failed their exams.

Janet?s aunty, Mrs. Olufolake Oyinloye, while speaking to the newspaper, explained that she became worried when her cousin didn?t return home after nightfall.


?The following day, I went to one of her friends, Evelyn?s home. I was shocked to discover that she too had not been seen. I have searched everywhere for her. I have also called her friend?s parent in Osun State to confirm if they were there.

?I do not think it is a crime to repeat a class. That is why she ran away.I went into her room to check if she dropped a note, but there was nothing. She did not take anything in the house. I just do not understand her reason for running away,? she lamented.

Mrs. Oyinloye also revealed that she has never been harsh to her cousin but has always encouraged her to sit up in her academic pursuits.

?I am not the harsh type. The only time I would say I scolded her was when she collected her second term result and hid it from me. What my children eat is what I used to give to her. I don?t discriminate between her and my children. I don?t know why she ran away?,? She said.


She said Evenly had called her father to disclosed that she was in Ibadan and since then, she hasn?t called anyone else, adding that efforts to reach her using the phone number have been futile.

?Three days after they left home, Evelyn called her father on phone, saying she was in Ibadan,? Oyinloye disclosed.

She disclosed further that the case has been reported at the Area ?C? Police Command.
