Officers located the 24year-old, who went missing on 4 July, in Hampshire yesterday. They said she appeared to be fit and well cared for. The discovery came as a result of a call to police at 10.30 am from a member of the public who had seen media appeals for information.
Det Ch Insp Nigel Penney, of the Metropolitan Police specialist crime unit, said: "This is the outcome we were all hoping and praying for. My team have been working around the clock to find Owami, and we are immensely relieved she has been found." He added: "She looks in good health, she's in a place of safety, and not currently in the vulnerable state that we were led to believe she was in at the start of her disappearance."
