Ogun State police spokesperson Omolola Odutola said the number of missing Nigerian girls is on the rise due to hookup dating.
Miss Odutola who was speaking during an interview on Channels TV Wednesday morning, said most of these girls have ended up in the hands of ritual killers.
“Today, we have lots of reports of missing persons. By the time we start an investigation, not less than 10 young girls and ladies go missing daily.
“In-depth investigations also reveal that those cases are not by accidents. Most of them are connected to hookup channels and apps. They fall victim to strangers who causally invite them to unknown places, and eventually fall victim to being used for ritual purposes,” said Odutola, adding that the cases of missing girls and ritual killings were rampant in Ogun State.
Hookup is a slang used to describe brief, casual sexual relations between individuals. Odutola described the hookup culture as a menace prevalent among young girls and attributed this to the surge in cases of missing girls and female victims of ritual killings in the state.
