Her uncle spoke to ThisDay about how Bunmi was found, rescued and of course how the Internet and social media publicity helped. Her Uncle, Adeniran Adejuwon said: "My niece was abandoned in another church in Abeokuta, Ogun State. It turned out that the church was having a programme when they noticed her presence in the church. Initially, they thought she belonged to one of the church members, so they carried on with their programme. At the end of the programme, many people left and she was left behind.
That was when they raised the alarm but nobody could identify her. It was a youth in the church, who had seen the viral message announcing her disappearance, that identified her.
He googled the picture of the missing girl circulating on the Internet and compared it with the girl and it matched.
They now took the girl to the police station in Abeokuta. It was the police who now called my brother informing him that they had his daughter in custody.
They asked him some questions like the kind of clothes Oluwabunmi was putting on, her complexion and her other physical features. It was then they invited him to Abeokuta.
When he arrived Abeokuta, they subjected him to another round of tests but what clinched it was when they brought her out and she shouted daddy. They then released her to him."
He also said that no ransom was paid for her release.
It is still unknown what made the kidnappers release the little girl with ransom.
