A two-year-old girl identified as Esther Ojo, reportedly went missing during last Sunday service at a Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries’ church in Lagos.The two-year-old girl went missing during the service at a branch of Mountain of Fire church in Agege. It was gathered that she disappeared after she went to use the toilet in the church, and all search for her has proved abortive. The distraught mother of the girl told a Punch correspondent;
“We went to the church together and
I am one of the children’s teachers. As of 12.31pm, we were still
together and I was cautioning her not to step on the child sleeping on
the bed until someone called me and I left where she was. We were almost
through with the second service and I was very busy because I was
rounding off the programme. The other teachers told me that Esther said
she wanted to urinate and a child of a church worker took her to the
toilet. The girl was the one that used to help me with Esther whenever I
was busy and Esther was already used to her.
“The girl said she
placed my daughter on the potty and left her there when somebody sent
her on an errand to buy pure water. When she returned from the errand, I
asked after my daughter and she said when she checked her in the
toilet, she was not there. Ever since then, we have been looking for
Esther. We first reported the case at the Pen Cinema Police Station, and
we have also gone to the Area ‘G’ Command and the Force Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department, Alagbon. They promised to
radio other stations, but they later said they had not heard anything
about her.”
