The family of Ogundele Dorcas, a 300-level English student of the University of Jos, earlier declared her missing after she could not be reached from the evening of January 14, 2026.
Dorcas, whose family resides in the Eto-Baba community, Jos, was reported missing after several attempts to locate her proved unsuccessful. Family members, friends, and relatives searched for her for over a week.
However, Dorcas later contacted a popular Jos-based influencer, Mohammed Junior, popularly known as Juju of Jos, after he shared her missing flyer on Facebook.
During a video call, she confirmed that she was neither kidnapped nor missing, stating that she left home by personal choice.
According to Dorcas, she had informed her brother of her decision to leave home and explained that she would not return until she achieved what she set out to do. She added that her decision was influenced by unresolved personal issues and alleged threats against her, stressing that she did not leave as a result of any criminal activity.
An anonymous source told Tudun Wada Broadcast that Dorcas is reportedly in a relationship disapproved of by her family. Despite repeated warnings, the 21-year-old is said to have continued the relationship. Her brother reportedly issued another strong warning after learning of a recent visit by her partner, an incident believed to have influenced her decision to leave home.
The development has continued to generate public reactions following confirmation of Dorcas’ safety.
