Fehintola “FT” Omidele a 25-year-old Nigerian doctor who is based in Houston, United States, has reportedly been missing since Sunday, November 30th.
Dr Omidele enjoyed a glittering academic career, graduating from high school at 16 with a grade point average of 4.3, before graduating from college at the age of 20.
'She's extremely responsible, so her not showing up for work and it's been four or five days, is not like her at all,' family friend Dr Omonele Nwokolo told KHOU.
Star doctor: FT graduated from high school at 16 with a 4.3 grade point average and graduated college at 20
Hailing from Nigeria, her family moved to New Orleans when she was eight, then to Katy, Texas, when she was 12.
According to the Houston Chronicle, she graduated high school with a 4.3 grade point average - out of a possible 5.0 - at the age of 16.
She was 20 when she enrolled in graduate medical school after majoring in biology and child development at the University of Texas.

In a profile done on Dr Omidele in April, she told the Chronicle: 'I've always loved children. I'm drawn to them. Personally, I consider myself a kid at heart. In college, I worked at the child development center.'
She graduated in May, when she started her three-year pediatrics placement at the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.
One day, she said, she hopes to work for the French non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders.
According to abc13, she was last seen by her family at her apartment.
Concerns began to arise when she didn’t show up at her workplace, Children’s Memorial Hospital, on Monday.
Reports state that Omidele’s family checked her apartment on Sunday and discovered that her work bag and car were missing, but her phone and pager were left behind.
“This has been extremely hard for me. I don’t think anything can be harder than this ever in life,”said her father, Segun Omidele.
On Thursday, family and friends gathered to pray for Fehintola‘s safe return.
Anyone who may have information about whereabouts, should call the Houston Police Department’s missing person’s division: 713-731-5223.
