Ayisha Robb — attorney-at-law representing Abihail Myrie, daughter of Buju Banton — was yesterday still unable to confirm if her client had presented herself to the police for them to verify that she is not missing.
“I have no knowledge of her presenting herself to the police as yet,” she told the Jamaica Observer.
Robb added that she was in dialogue with Myrie a few hours prior, and she is still processing the happenings of the last few days.
“I’m just giving her some time, because as you can imagine, she is a bit shaken up by what happened. So, I’m just giving her some time, based on her legal instructions,” she said.
According to a Jamaica Constabulary Force release sent on Tuesday, “Abihail Myrie, 21 — of a West Meade, Belgrade Heights address — has been missing since Saturday, October 9. Reports are that Myrie, who was last seen at home, has not been heard from since. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Myrie is asked to contact the Constant Spring Police or the nearest police station.”
Abihail and her sibling, Jahazeil Myrie, took to Instagram on Tuesday evening to contradict the police report.
Abihail Myrie came to prominence in June 2020, when she was one of 13 people featured in a Vogue article about the #VogueChallenge, a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement. Originating on TikTok, the challenge showcased the talents of black creators.
Myrie’s three photos with her caption “because we’re manifesting it”, created a stir.
She was later featured on ABC’s Good Morning America.
Abihail Myrie is also sister to Jamaica Labor Party caretaker Jodian Myrie, and producer Markus Myrie.
