What was supposed to be a sigh of economic relief and joy for the family of Daniel Ogoh, a postgraduate student in a foreign university who was believed to have visited Nigeria recently, has turned out to be awry and hopeless as the whereabouts of the 27-year-old is shrouded in mystery.
According to a source in the family, the 6.1 ft tall man was said to have arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on the 5th of May.
The source added that his name was on the manifest of those who arrived and cleared by the relevant agencies, as there were no criminal records against him.
To the dismay of the family, however, the visit turned awry when the returnee did not arrive home and has not been seen by any known family member, friend, or associate since that time.
Efforts to track him through his phone numbers have also been abortive. Worried by the grim possibilities, the family began a frantic search for him and reported the matter to the law enforcement agencies.
Thus far, the search and investigations have not shed light on the mystery. “This is really strange and unfortunate. I don’t understand how somebody will arrive all the way from Europe and disappear into the thin air in his country.
“This has thrown the parents and other family members into emotional trauma. This is a very dark and agonising moment for us,” Imade Osamede his uncle said in a tearful tone.
The source pleaded with anyone with useful information on the issue to report at the nearest police station or contact the family through the following telephone lines +2349035440301, and +2348167082786.
