Kemi Afolabi, who is also a mother of one, revealed that the decision to start the search came after repeated dreams about Maria.
According to the actress, the visions left her worried and determined to confirm that her friend is safe and not facing any form of trouble.
She appealed to the public to assist with any information that could help trace Maria’s whereabouts.
In her Instagram post, Afolabi shared specific details to guide the search. She mentioned Maria’s full name, the school they attended together, and the year they graduated.
She also recalled another mutual friend named Ebun, though she admitted she could not remember Ebun’s surname or Instagram handle. This, she said, makes it difficult to reach out directly, hence her decision to make the appeal public.
