According to him, she called around 7pm as she stepped out of her office. But that was the last he heard from her.
Adewale said they have a four year old son who has been asking for his mother consistently.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that a colleague of hers gave her a lift from the office but dropped her off around Canoe area of Ajao Estate, Isoloon her way to Oke-Afa area of Ejigbo where she lives with her husband.
No one has any inkling what could have happened to her within the short distance it would have taken her to get home.
Friends and associates have been circulating her photographs on the social media appealing for information that can help locate her.
But her family said they have got no calls pertaining to her, throwing them into apprehension on whether this is an abduction or not.
