Adewebi, who serves at St. James Grammar School, later clarified that she was neither missing nor kidnapped.
She explained that her mother had been unable to reach her for several days, prompting her to raise an alarm which was subsequently amplified through media reports.
Adewebi said she was safe, accounted for and not in any danger.
She also apologised for the concern and distress caused by the reports, explaining that the initial alarm was raised in good faith because of her mother’s fears.
