She was last seen around 8:00 p.m. on August 6, 2025.
Dorcas, a resident of Adesanmi House on Ibadan Road, Ile-Ife, reportedly went to buy food in front of the students’ village along Ede Road but never returned. Her roommate’s attempts to reach her on both phone lines were unsuccessful.
Olarewaju explained that the university’s security unit began monitoring discussions on the case after a missing person’s report was posted on a student social media platform at about 3:00 p.m. on August 7. Later that day, at about 6:10 p.m., some Chemistry students, along with Dorcas’s roommate, reported the matter to the security unit.
Due to the complexity of the case and limited resources, three security officers were assigned to work with the students and hand over their preliminary findings to the police for further investigation.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Adebayo Simeon Bamire praised the students for quickly sounding the alarm and urged the police and other security agencies to step up efforts to locate the missing student. He appealed to anyone with relevant information to contact the nearest police station or the OAU security unit.
