Faith replied that she ran away because she was being treated unfairly. She claimed that she was not paid any money and was not given the opportunity to go to school or learn any handwork.

According to Faith’s relative, Sharon, Faith is an orphan and the last child out of seven children.

Speaking further, Faith reiterated that her employer did not fulfil her promise of sending her to school, and even when she wanted to learn computer, she did not listen to her.

She wrote in the letter that she was going to Bayelsa, so they wouldn't be able to find her.

However, she went to Lagos where a Good Samaritan took her in when she got to the park because she had nowhere to go.

The letter reads:

“Letter to Aunt Shima. It is me Faith. Writing this letter to tell you that I’m no longer in Uyo. I have gone to Bayelsa to pursue my dreams. I know you do not expect these from me but I’m so sorry for the disappointment.
