Her relatives contacted authorities after she disappeared from her parent’s home on Sunday morning.
Her ticket was booked for Saudi Arabia. Documents were found in her room suggesting the group had recruited her.
The girl has been returned safely to her parents after she was taken off the British Airways flight.
Mahlobo said, How the girl was able to get money for the airfare was being investigated,
“But we are just doing a lot... in terms of investigation to see how did she get recruited so that she could leave the country, how the funding in terms of the airfare was being arranged, so that we can be able to get to the bottom of this.”
He said there would be a thorough debriefing so as to “understand the psyche of the child”.
Nigerians we need to watch our children and what they do on the social media..anyone can be recruited age is no barrier.
