Police do not suspect foul play in Abosede's disappearance but are continuing their efforts to locate her. "I understand that the uncertainty surrounding Sinmi's disappearance is concerning," said Police Chief Jason Arres. "We will continue to follow up on any leads and lean on the expertise of our partners at NEMA and surrounding law enforcement agencies."

Chief Arres also urged community members to keep an eye out for Abosede and report any sightings immediately by calling 911. He also asked for anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to contact the Naperville Police Investigation's Division at 630-548-1421.

The department will communicate any major developments in the case but does not plan to provide regular updates on the status of the investigation. "We know there are a lot of community members who want to help," Chief Arres continued. "I would ask that they continue to circulate Sinmi's picture and keep their eyes open as they travel throughout the region. The more eyes we have looking out for her, the better."

As the search for Abosede continues, authorities are hopeful that she will be found safe and sound. In the meantime, they are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing her home.
