According to the mother, one of her schoolmates claimed Treasure said “she was not happy”.
She disclosed that she had done all within her powers, including reporting to the Divisional Police Station, Ekpan, reaching out to family and friends, as well as checking the phone for possible clues, to find her.
She narrated thus: “she went to school on Wednesday. Although, we had a little issue on Tuesday evening. I took her phone from her. I seized it.
“She’s not supposed to take the phone to school and she’s not supposed to have a SIM. But we noticed that she had a SIM. I was angry with her, so I took the phone.
“On Wednesday, she bathed and went to school at New Era, Jakpa Road. After school, she attends a lesson (extra class) close by, just across the Jakpa Road. But she did not get to the lesson that very day. From school, she left.
