“My brother worked for a company in Enugu State as a security guy, and since the 7th of this month, he has been missing, and the company is saying nothing about it,” she lamented.

According to her, she travelled from Abuja to Enugu upon receiving news of the disappearance, and she alleged that efforts to obtain concrete information from the security agency yielded no tangible feedback.

She said officials of the company informed her that they reported the matter to the police two days later, on April 9.

She explained that the police requested a photograph of the missing man, which she promptly sent to the company for onward transmission.

However, when she visited the police station in person to formally report the case, officers allegedly told her that the company had not returned with the requested picture and had not been actively following up on the matter.

“The police man told them to provide the picture of the person they are looking for, which, when they asked me to provide, I sent the picture to them.

“On getting there on Saturday, they told me that the people did not return with the picture and nobody from the company has come for the case anymore,” she said.

She added that when the police eventually made an arrest, his statement was “totally different” from what she was initially told.

Fearing the case would not be taken seriously, she cried for assistance from Nigerians as she sought the whereabouts of her brother.

“My brother has been missing for three weeks now, and nobody is giving me answers about anything. You people should help me, I’m tired,” she said.

The development has sparked concerns on social media, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the man’s disappearance.

While the Enugu State Police Command is yet to issue an official statement, the command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, has requested that her contact be provided for further “thorough” investigation.

Reacting to her viral video on X, Ndukwe wrote, “This truly requires thorough investigative action. Kindly avail me with the contact of the video maker so that I’ll know from her the Station where the report was made for further necessary action, pls.”
