A family in Makurdi is in distress after an elderly woman, regarded as a mother figure by many, vanished on November 15, 2025, sparking widespread concern among relatives and neighbors. Miss Mercy Ameh raised the alarm, revealing that her big aunty—whom she considers her own mother—has been missing and may be wandering confusedly around different parts of the city.
The missing woman, an Igala by tribe, is multilingual and can communicate fluently in Igala, Idoma, English, Igbo, and Yoruba. Her ability to speak multiple languages has fueled fears that she might have interacted with strangers or sought help in unfamiliar areas, complicating efforts to trace her whereabouts.
Residents in and around Kashio Yaikor and Welfare Quarters are being urged to remain vigilant. The family is appealing to anyone who spots an elderly woman appearing lost, disoriented, or in need of assistance to contact them immediately for identification and support.
Contact details provided are:
0806798816 — Mercy Ameh
07032869177 — Isaiah Idoko (Son)
The family expressed deep gratitude for any information or support, while offering prayers for the safe return of their loved one. As the search intensifies, the Makurdi community is rallying in solidarity, hopeful for a swift and positive resolution.
