According to sources, Faizat was located by the authorities, but details surrounding her detention and the circumstances leading to it remain unclear. The police have reportedly denied her access to her phone for 5 days, raising alarms about potential human rights violations.
The University of Ilorin has yet to release an official statement regarding Faizat’s situation. The police are expected to provide updates on the case, including the reasons behind Faizat’s detention and the circumstances of her discovery.
