An 11-year-old girl identified as Victory has been found wandering around Inegbenebor School in the Limit area of Edo State, unable to identify her parents or remember where she lives.
The girl was reportedly found on Thursday after a Good Samaritan discovered her wandering around the school premises and took her to the Edo State Security Corps.
During a profiling exercise by security personnel, Victory said she was 11 or 12 years old but could not recall her home address, identify her parents or explain how she got to the area.
When asked about her whereabouts, the girl said she had been walking around for a long time but could not remember where she was coming from or where she lived.

She repeatedly told the officers that she could not remember anything, including the identities of her parents.
A personnel of the Edo State Security Corps explained that efforts to establish the girl’s identity and trace her family were unsuccessful.
The security personnel subsequently disclosed that she would be taken to a police station for further assistance and necessary investigation.
As of the time of filing this report, authorities had yet to disclose further details about the circumstances surrounding the girl’s disappearance or establish her family’s identity.
