    "abstract": "The spike in challenges to security as well as information and resource management across the globe has equally borne the rising demand for a better system and technology to curb it. A news release from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 2020 revealed over 40,000 people were declared missing in Africa. A staggering percentage of that number, a little over 23,000, is documented in Nigeria alone. Despite the numerous factors surrounding missing persons globally, at more than 50% of the original figure, it is unsurprising that most of the cases in Nigeria are attributed to the insurgency and security mishap that has plagued the country for almost a decade. Some of the cases remain unsolved for years, causing the victims to remain untraceable, thereby taking up a different identity and existence, especially if they went missing. Current solutions to find missing persons in Nigeria revolve around word of mouth, media and print announcements, and more recently, social media. These solutions are inefficacious, slow, and do not adequately help find and identify missing persons, especially in situations where time is a determining factor. The use of a facial recognition system with deep learning functionality can help Nigerian law enforcement agencies, and other human rights organizations and friends and families of the missing person speed up the search and find process. Our experimental system combines facial recognition with deep learning using a convoluted neural network. In this study, the authors have used high-standard facial calibration and modeling for feature extraction. These extracted features form the face encodings that are after that compared to a given image.",
