She also claimed that throughout the five days that she was with him , he did not sexually molest her .

She said , “ We became friends on Facebook last year. He was always disturbing me . At a point , I decided to block him because he asked me out . However , on July 17 , 2018 , after a party in my school , he started chatting with me again. During one of our chats , he asked if I was a virgin and I answered yes .

“ I don’ t know how he got to my street that night . He called and said he was on our street . I told him that I just returned from a journey and I could not go outside . He said there was no problem and he would leave .

“ I went to buy something outside when I saw him . He initially pleaded with me to follow him , but I refused . He then touched me on the shoulders . I lost my senses and obeyed him .

“ He took me to his friend ’ s place in the Pipeline area of Idimu . He held a meeting with the friend called Michael . There was a second friend , Gbenga , with them that night . He told them that I would pass the night with them .

“ The room was dark . I was there for about five days . During the period , he locked me in and only brought food to me . I told him that I wanted to go home , but he said I could not find my way home without him . ”

The teenager said by Sunday , Michael asked Ajayi to take her away from the house because his girlfriend would be visiting .

The 26 – year – old was alleged to have insisted on her staying, as he reportedly made plans to relocate her to another friend ’ s house .
“ When his friend was going to work on Monday , he told us that we had till 3 pm to leave his apartment . That was when he ( Ajayi ) said he was taking me to another friend ’ s place , but I refused . Some minutes later , the police came and rescued me , ” she added .

Miracle said the suspect did not sleep with her , adding that they were not in a relationship before they met .

Asked the kind of work Ajayi did for a living , Miracle said she believed that he was into Internet scam .

“ From Thursday night to Monday afternoon that I was there , he did not touch me and none of his friends did .

“ He told me that he works with a company at Apapa. But I believe he is into

yahoo yahoo ( Internet scam ) . He never allowed me to touch his phone . But there was a night he was asleep and he forgot to lock the phone . I picked it and open his

Hangout application . I saw him chatting with a man and claiming to be a girl .

“ From this incident , I have learnt not to go out at night again. I have also stopped using a phone and removed myself from the social media , ” she added .

PUNCH Metro learnt that Miracle ’ s father died when she was barely four years old and her mother , Foluke , had had to cater to her and her two siblings alone.

Foluke told our correspondent that she reported the case at the Idimu Police Station and the IRT ’ s office at Ikeja .

The mother of three said she believed Ajayi planned to do something evil with her daughter .

She said , “ On that Thursday night , I was with my daughter in the house when her younger sister came to say she went to buy chin- chin outside and did not return . More than 24 hours after searching for her , we reported at Idimu and IRT ’ s office .

“ The police said they tracked how he started calling the girl that morning. She switched off her phone and when she turned it on at night , he was the first person to call her and that was how he abducted her .

“ I believe he had a mission . His family members have been begging for forgiveness, but I have referred them to the police . It is not possible for him to have kept the girl for five days without touching her , but that was what happened . So , he had a plan . Whenever he wanted to urinate , he locked her up in the room . I want the police to get to the root of the matter. From what I learnt , his calls after he took the girl had been to Kaduna and Kano states . I want to know his mission . ”
The state Police Public Relations Officer , CSP Chike Oti , said investigation was ongoing .

He said , “ The girl was declared missing and the case was investigated by the Inspector – General of Police Intelligence Response Team, which rescued her . The suspect is still under investigation to unravel the motive for the abduction. The boy has denied sleeping with the girl ; we are looking at a suspected case of trafficking. Investigation is ongoing . ”
