The Anambra Police Command said it is unaware of the five missing travellers’ from Lagos State, who reportedly went incommunicado after a layover in the state.
Human Rights Advocate Harrison Gwamnishu shared complaints from a concerned individual late Wednesday about how his friends could not be reached over 24 hours after they departed Lagos.
Attached to the post were pictures of the alleged missing individuals and their names
The individuals are Aliu Opeyemi, Anifowose Promise, Femi Anigeloye, Alex and Femi.
From the complaints, the travellers from Lagos were heading to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Capital for a wedding, and decided to lay over in a hotel in Anambra before proceeding with the journey the following day.
The post read: “They left Shimawa-Lagos yesterday; they called around 7:00pm yesterday that they have gotten to Asaba and looking for where to eat.
“After an hour they continued the trip and got to Anambra and they concluded on sleeping in a hotel and continue the journey this morning.
“The last time we spoke with them was around 10:00pm when we believed they were already tired and needed some little rest.
“So this morning around 6:16AM; one of them posted his wife on WhatsApp status to wish her a happy birthday, and that was the last time we get any means of communication with them.
“We tried to call five of them it was switched off, both on WhatsApp and phone calls. At about 10:30AM today, one of their phone rang severally and no one pick up the call and later the phone was switched off till now.
“We have contacted Anambra Police Command and no news yet. Please help us to broadcast this sir. Wedding is tomorrow (4 male friends) and (Groom sister). That’s five.”
When contacted to enquire if the command received any such complaint about missing travellers in the state, the spokesperson of Anambra Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga simply said, “No”.
