The incident began on Friday, April 3, 2026, when Mrs. Funke reportedly left Ilara-Mokin for Akure around 10 a.m. and later became unreachable after her phone went off, sparking fears of possible abduction. Her disappearance prompted relatives and concerned community members to alert security operatives and begin a search.

She was later traced to a hotel in the Ugbe-Akoko area, about 124 kilometres from her point of departure. A source familiar with the development disclosed that there was no indication of foul play, noting that she reportedly travelled on her own and was found in the company of the man.

“The public had every reason to suspect kidnapping at first, but she was not abducted. She left without informing her family and was later discovered in a hotel room,” the source said.

The Nigeria Police Force confirmed the incident through its spokesperson in the state, DSP Jimoh Abayomi, who cautioned against the spread of misinformation and unnecessary panic. He explained that the situation had led to avoidable alarm and the diversion of security attention from genuine cases requiring urgent response.

He further urged families to maintain proper communication channels, stressing that many similar cases could be resolved privately without escalating into public distress or security alerts.

Meanwhile, the development has triggered widespread reactions on social media, with users expressing mixed emotions ranging from humour and criticism to concern over trust and safety in relationships and marriages.

Below are some of the reactions gathered online:

Damola__L(@ThedamolaS): “This is why trust is dead in marriages these days. She left her family in panic for days just to be with another man?”

Khemmy (@tx4tax): “The public had every reason to assume she was abducted, the level of insecurity in Ondo State is alarming.”
