Missing married woman found with man in Ondo hotel room

A 42-year-old married woman, Mrs. Tilewa Olatunde Funke, who was earlier declared missing, has been found in a hotel room in Ondo State alongside a 55-year-old man identified as Isa Alaba.

According to reports, the woman left Ilara-Mokin for Akure at about 10 a.m. on Friday, April 3, 2026, but could not be reached afterward as her phone remained switched off.

Her sudden disappearance triggered concern among family members and residents, leading to a search effort involving security operatives.

She was later located in a hotel in the Ugbe-Akoko area, approximately 124 kilometres from Ilara-Mokin.

A source revealed, “She was not abd¥cted as initially feared. She left on her own without informing anyone and was later found with the man in the hotel.”

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Jimoh Abayomi, urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information or creating panic.

“This situation created avoidable alarm and diverted resources meant for real emergencies,” he said.

DSP Abayomi also emphasized the need for better communication within families, noting that many similar cases could be addressed through dialogue rather than escalating into widespread concern.
