How Emmanual Adeyemi got missing in Lagos

Adeyemi said his wife brought Emmanuel to him and took him to the bus where other children were staying. He narrated that he sat him down and went to get him a drink because he was sick.

"It wasn’t only my child who was on the bus; there were many other children there. After I gave him the drink, I went to the bus we were to go on, and we began the journey. Their bus was at the front while ours was following it."
“When we got to a place, we were given powdered milk, and I went to the bus where my child was to give him but upon calling his name repeatedly, I was told there was no Emmanuel in the bus. I was shocked and asked the driver about my son’s whereabouts. He then told me a woman was carrying some children into another bus.
