The
Jangha Kunda family in Kombo Wellingara spent the Tobaski holiday in torrid
times running from pillar to post in search of their eight-year-old daughter
who is reported missing since Friday.
The
girl, Ida Jangha, sources say went with the step mother to the Fagikunda health
centre for a routine medical check-up, disappeared from the escort after seeing
the doctor.
The
distraught step mother and many other concerned individuals combed the entire
health centre and neighborhood in search of Ida but it was a fruitless
undertaking.
Shortly
after the incident, the Jangha family put up series of announcements on the
public and private FM stations in the Greater Banjul area with a view to
informing the general public about their missing daughter but this did not pay
dividend.
Speaking
to a section of the local media, the father of the missing girl, Ebrima Jangha, an influential Islamic
preacher in Central Wellingara mosque, said the family is getting more and more
worried as each day passed brings with it hope and trepidation of the worst
case-scenario. ‘We are worried, we are therefore appealing to anyone who
sighted or has knowledge about the whereabouts of Ida Jangha to come forward
and tell us. We can be reached on the following number: 7869200.’
This
is the first time that little Ida Jangha has been reported missing; this
incident has left the family in a difficult and painful period.
