By Favour Bibaikefie
Odimodi, Delta State – Relief and jubilation filled the air in Odimodi Town, Burutu Local Government Area today, as a missing farmer, Mama Kuluma Iyorakpo (Nee Bekewei), was reunited with her family after missing her way on her return trip from the farm yesterday. Mama Kuluma reportedly passed the night in the middle of nowhere in the deep Odimodi rain forest.
According to community sources, Mama Iyorakpo had gone to her farm on Tuesday morning but lost her way while attempting to return home after work. Her non-return at dusk sparked concerns and anxiety among family and neighbours who alerted the community leaders. Her overnight absence triggered the dispatch of search parties by the community hierarchy, which found her after many hours of tireless search, the morning hours of Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Mama Kuluma was visibly exhausted from endless efforts made trying to find her way, lack of proper rest, food, or water to drink.
Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the family, her son, Comrade Friday Millions Iyorakpo expressed gratitude to God for sparing his mothers life and commended the Odimodi Community for swiftly dispatching search parties who made tireless efforts to securely rescue his mother alive.
The incident has been described as a testament to God’s guiding and protective hands and the resolve of a people’s determination to save life with an enduring communal spirit.
