Abdul Agboola, 3, plays with some of his favorite toys in the familyâs living room on Friday. Abdul went missing for more than nine hours on Wednesday and a massive search effort was coordinated to find him.
PENDLETON â A shrill sound screamed overhead as 3-year-old Abdul Agboola and his sister unlocked their front door Friday afternoon. Standing on her tiptoes, Abdulâs sister reached up and disarmed the alarm.
Abdul wrapped his fingers over his ears and ran barefoot back down a hallway to a living room at the sound of the alarm. After it was silenced, he bounced back down the hallway with a shy smile and a red fire truck in his hands.
